Preliminary all digital Channel Filter design for LTE-Advanced software radio implementation

This paper introduces a preliminary Tunable Digital Low pass Channel Filter designed and implemented according to the 3GPP Release 10 Receiver Characteristics. The filter is built using Altera's DSP Builder Design Environment and Matlab Simulink to allow for FPGA implementation at a later stage. The functional simulation shows that the filter can satisfy Release 10 requirements in terms of magnitude response. This filter is scheduled for implementation on one of Altera's FPGAs in order to assess its performance.
