Charleston: FPGAs vs. ASICs in SDRs

[fgentges at mindspring.com]

Nice article about the advantage of FPGAs and their advantage over 
ASICs.  Most is also applicable to processing in the computer with 
software.  It is from the web site embedded.com and written by people 
from Pentek.  A bit of commercial promotion but the article presents 
good food for thought.

With the start of the Charleston SDR project at AMRAD, this article 
presents some reasons to pursue FPGA implementation.

I think the article is important enough that I have converted and saved 
it as an Acrobat file.
