You may want to cross-post this question to the fpga newsgroup (I trust you haven't multiple-posted). Scratch out your modulator design as a block diagram, then look at the arithmetical operations you're going to be doing and the sampling rate you feel you need to achieve. I suspect there will be a substantial number of multiplies, with some phase-to-sine conversions. This would imply you want an FPGA that has multiplier blocks and memory blocks -- fortunately these are easy to come by. Then go looking for an FPGA that's easy to work with. I can't help you here -- my little bit of experience with FPGAs is with Xilinx parts and it's a few years old now. Moreover my choice had more to do with having a local circle of friends that includes more people with practical Xilinx experience than with other parts, and because the local Xilinx app engineer is a friendly and helpful guy. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com Do you need to implement control loops in software?

 Hi
 i'm new to using Fpga.My project is design of modulator using Fpga based
on Dsp technology.My data rate is 12Mb and Intermeadiate freq  is 140
Mhz.
I decided to use D8psk modulation technique. i want to choose Fpga for
this design.which parameters have to be considered for choosing fpga.
