  This paper describes a step by step approach for implementing a scalable and
run-time adaptable multi-standard packet detector for orthogonal frequency
divisional multiplexing (OFDM) based communication standards. The paper briefly
describes considerations and design choices in making a modular system block
with generic control supporting rapid prototyping and implementation of
preamble-based packet detectors. The results were generated through
implementation on a Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA with a MicroBlaze processor
instantiated to provide run-time control and adaptability.
