OpenHT-fpga

OpenHT FPGA design - a complete Lattice Radiant project for the LIFCL-40-9SG72C.

Functionality

Generic modulators:

• [x] frequency modulator
• [x] amplitude modulator
• [x] phase modulator
• [x] single sideband (SSB)
• [x] 16QAM (Gray-coded)
• [x] arbitrary I/Q
• [ ] 32APSK

Generic demodulators:

• [x] frequency demodulator
• [x] amplitude demodulator
• [ ] phase demodulator
• [ ] single sideband (SSB)
• [ ] arbitrary constellation map

Other:

• [x] I/Q raw sample access over SPI
• [x] optional phase dither for the frequency/phase modulator
• [x] Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) estimation
• [ ] symbol recovery, clock sync

Supported modes

Analog: FM, AM, SSB, OOK (CW)
Digital: M17, FreeDV, crude "4FSK", SSTV, 16QAM, BPSK/QPSK/DQPSK, OFDM, AFSK, APRS

Note: automatic gain control (AGC) is done by the RF transceiver chip. Not all modes are yet implemented in the firmware.
