maybe i can try this on Matlab simulink first. if it can be done.

Yes, that would be another approach. If you have DSP Builder as well as Matlab/Simulink, I believe there is a mechanism to create VHDL code directly from the DSP Builder project. I'm not well educated in this approach, however.

hurm well... to tell you the truth, i havent been given a complete information about the project by my supervisor. when i ask, he only told me to do it for all type of digital modulation and i'm not pretty sure what he's trying to tell me.
sorry for the lack of information.

Without a little more detail from your supervisor, this project can become unwieldy very quickly. Perhaps you can focus on the end product - are you designing a modulator for a particular industry or a particular product line? Your company should have some documentation on what modulation schemes you currently use.
As an example, the Agilent signal generator on my desk can create all sorts of modulation schemes, but even that is limited when you start finding some of the more specialized ones.
Maybe you should start with one or two of the more simple modulation schemes - PSK, FSK, ASK, and build those pieces. Do you know how to generate the modulators to begin with?
Another approch would be to purchase IP that already does what it is you are attempting to do (once your supervisor defines this better for you).
Here is some IP from the Altera Website:
modulators & demodultaors (
http://www.altera.com/products/ip/dsp/modulation_demodulation/ipm-index.jsp?gsa_pos=1&wt.oss_r=1&wt.oss=modulation)
Try plugging in some keywords into the
Altera.com search function and see what comes out & if it applies to your situation. You can also give your FAE a call and see what they have to offer (maybe a good approach if you need an Non-disclosure that you cannot get on a public forum)
Hope this helps some.
