In this paper results of an IEEE 802.11a compliant low-power base band processor implementation are presented. The detailed structure of the base band processor and its constituent blocks is given. A design for testability strategy based on Built-In Self-Test (BIST) is proposed. Finally, implementation results and power estimation are reported.

An efficient design for testability (DFT) has been a major thrust of area for today's VLSI engineers. A poorly designed DFT would result in losses for manufacturers with a considerable rework for the designers. BIST (built-in self-test), one of the promising DFT techniques, is rapidly modifying with the advances in technology as the device shrinks. The increasing complexities of the hardware have shifted the trend to include BISTs in high performance circuitry for offline as well as online testing. Work done here involves testing a circuit under test (CUT) with built in response analyser and vector generator with a monitor to control all the activities.
