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.

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" gives you just what it says.

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.
