UVM-Based Verification of OFDM Baseband Processing System

With the development of very large scale integrated circuit (VLSI), verification becomes an indispensable step to ensure the normal operation of digital circuits. In the face of increasing complex large-scale digital design, universal verification methodology (UVM) has become the mainstream verification method due to its scalability, standardization, portability and other characteristics. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is an advanced multi-carrier transmission technology, which is widely used in the field of wireless communication. This paper presents a verification framework of OFDM baseband processing system based on UVM. UVM generates random excitation and passes it to our design, and automatically collects the results and compares them with the reference model to achieve sufficient verification of the system. Simulation results show the final functional coverage reaches 100%, demonstrating the validity of our verification framework.
