| dc.description.abstract | The team designed and implemented a power-domain NOMA prototype operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band using a discrete IF-based RF architecture. The transmitter consists of a DE1-SoC FPGA performing real-time NOMA baseband processing, an AD9742 DAC, an RF transformer, a low-pass filter, an HMC213 mixer, and an ADF4351 frequency synthesizer, all mounted on a custom two-layer PCB. The receiver was implemented using an NI USRP-2932 software-defined radio with a 10 dB LNA, running a GNU Radio receiver chain that performs carrier recovery, timing recovery, and SIC in software. Three custom patch antennas were designed, simulated in Advanced Design System (ADS), and fabricated in-house for operation at 2.47 GHz. | |

- Description:
- Despite a large theoretical base of study, the practical hardware implementations of NOMA remain rare in academia. Most research exists only as simulations and cannot capture real-world impairments such as RF distortion, timing mismatches, and PCB-level signal integrity effects. There is a clear need for a transparent NOMA hardware prototype that shows and solves these practical challenges and can demonstrate as a reusable reference for future researchers and engineers. The team designed and implemented a power-domain NOMA prototype operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band using a discrete IF-based RF architecture. The transmitter consists of a DE1-SoC FPGA performing real-time NOMA baseband processing, an AD9742 DAC, an RF transformer, a low-pass filter, an HMC213 mixer, and an ADF4351 frequency synthesizer, all mounted on a custom two-layer PCB. The receiver was implemented using an NI USRP-2932 software-defined radio with a 10 dB LNA, running a GNU Radio receiver chain that performs carrier recovery, timing recovery, and SIC in software. Three custom patch antennas were designed, simulated in Advanced Design System (ADS), and fabricated in-house for operation at 2.47 GHz.
