Jim Patchell DSM1

"Here is what I have in mind for the moment. This, I propose, to implement in a Xilinx XC3S1000 fpga. I am going to use a Diglent Spartan 3 Starter board with that part mounted on it. This should be able to cover all that is proposed. I will be controlling it with an Atmel ATmeaga2561 microcontroller.

I should be able to run this at 96KHz sample rate, my goal is, however, to run at 192KHz sample rate. The tough one is going to be the filter. I am currently writing the code of the low pass filter. I know that 512 of anything seems like a lot, but, that is just sort of how things break down in the Spartan 3. If it works...I don't think I will need to worry about running out of oscilators. I still need to figure out some way to get modulation into the picture, but, that I am sure will come later. I want to get the basic system down first. It would be kind of keen to be able to do FM modulation from channel to channel..."
