FPGA design of GPS

Includes bibliographical references (page 53)The goal of this project under the supervision of Dr. Ramin Roosta is to design a Global Positioning System (GPS) using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) design Methodology. The Global Positioning System design takes advantage of the FPGA emulation through which designs involved are balanced accordingly. One of the critical\ud factors in today???s FPGA design is in deciding whether the design has to be implemented in RTL or in Software. The main focus was on resources available in the earlier generations of FPGA design technologies. This project considers different factors\ud including resources, efficiency of implementation and decides whether certain module has to be implemented in the RTL or in Software. A large part of the design includes the RTL and the other part is the Firmware through which the design goals are reached. The\ud objective of the project is to minimize the hardware requirement and increase the efficiency of the model and work exactly like any GPS System
