Realization of transmitter and receiver architecture for different uplink and downlink channel for LTE is the major research work being carried out today. There are three control channels available in LTE for downlink. The downlink control channels are PDCCH, PCFICH and PHICH. Physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH) is one among the downlink physical control channel which carries number of OFDM symbols used by the PDCCH. This information carried by the PCFICH channel is denoted as control format indicator (CFI). The CFI is the first information received by the UE and so is important for the LTE performance. In this paper, the realization of transmitter architecture for PCFICH is done using FPGA.
