An all-in-one Software Defined Radio platform

Hi, I'm building the analog front end for my software defined radio receiver architecture. The ADC will directly sample the bandwidth of interest to basband where the the information can be pas...

This just keeps getting better! A SoC device may be just what I am looking for.

The device I am redesigning currently uses a two chip solution -an IC used for GMSK (9600bps) demodulation and data handling, it does High-level data control (HDLC) and Non-return-to-zero inverted (NRZI) decoding. And an ARM7 microcontroller is used as a host micro. I'm new to SoC devices, but could it be possible to replace all this with a SoC device - doing digital down conversion and signal processing algorithms in the FPGA, effectively replacing the current IC. Then use the ARM core as the host micro... Am I on the right track?

Cheers,

Les.
