5. Real-World Applications and Project Development
Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are powerful devices used in various applications such as digital signal processing (DSP), communication systems, and control systems. The chapter delves into how FPGA programming resolves real-world issues in these domains, covering practical examples including FIR filters, QPSK modulators, and PID controllers. A hands-on project integrates concepts from various fields to provide a comprehensive understanding of FPGA-based system development.
