本論文的主要目的，在闡述IEEE 802.16-2004全球互通微波存取(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, WiMAX)無線通訊系統的基頻接收機設計與硬體實現。我們首先用Matlab建立電腦浮點模擬平台(Floating Point Simulation Platform)，除了建立傳送訊號與通道模型之外，並針對接收機基頻訊號處理的演算法做效能驗證，以確保接收機效能符合標準所訂定的最低效能。然後我們針對接收機的各個功能方塊(主要包括封包偵測、時間同步、頻率同步、通道估測、快速傅立葉轉換等)，進行硬體架構的設計與系統整合，並用Matlab進行電腦定點模擬(Fixed Point Simulation)。最後我們以Verilog硬體描述語言(Hardware Description Language, HDL)進行硬體設計，並在電腦上進行行為層(Behavioral Level)模擬與邏輯層(Gate Level)模擬，確認無誤後將設計完成的電路下載到現場可程式化閘陣列 (Field Programmable Gate Array, FPGA)實驗板上驗證電路功能的正確性。

This thesis describes the design and implementation of the baseband receiver for the IEEE 802.16-2004 Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) wireless communications systems. Firstly, a Matlab floating-point simulation platform is built for system design. In addition to the transmitted signals and the channel models, the signal processing algorithms for the baseband receiver are verified to meet the system performance required by the standard. Then the receiver functional blocks, which include packet detection, timing synchronization, frequency synchronization, channel estimation, and the 256-point fast Fourier transform (FFT), are designed and integrated. Fixed point simulation is also conducted by using Matlab. The hardware implementation is realized by using the Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL). Behavioral level and gate level simulations are also conducted to verify the system design. The design is downloaded to the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) for system verification.
