碩士 === 南台科技大學 === 通訊工程研究所 === 100 === Recently the semiconductor and IC design industry has been developed quickly. In general, the IC design and implementation include several processes, such as system design, system function verification by hardware-software simulations, circuit design and chip fabrication. Especially in the system function verification stage, the hardware- software co-simulation platform can usually provide the fast function verification and shorten the IC design and implement schedule. In recent years, the wireless communication networking technology also develops quickly. Aiming at possible need for the wireless communication network IC design, in this thesis we propose to establish a hardware-software co-simulation platform of wireless communication baseband transmission where a case study on ZigBee is applied. Firstly, we study the ZigBee standard developed by the ZigBee Alliance and research on the ZigBee baseband transceiver. Then, we build up the ZigBee baseband transmission simulation platform by using the Simulink/System Generator build-in library. The platform can provide the system and hardware level simulations. At last, we use the hardware-software co-simulation function in the System Generator to accomplish the hardware-software co-simulation platform for the ZigBee baseband transmission. The developed platforms will be use to simulate and analyze the ZigBee baseband transmission system performance in the system level and hardware level. The simulation results will also be verified the usability of the developed hardware-software co-simulation platform. The platform we build up will be useful for researchers or teachers who work on the ZigBee system or other wireless communication systems.
