This paper provides an overview of the radio interface physical layer requirements of WIMAX. Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access was defined by the WIMAX Forum formed in 2001. WIMAX is defined in the IEEE 802.16 standard. Wireless MAN Standards-based technology enable the delivery of "Last mile" wireless broadband access as an alternative to Cable and DSL. This paper then presents the implementation of the current WIMAX standards on a second generation flexible baseband processor. The implementation will be limited to the receiver chain blocks and will be entirely in ANSI C, written for a fixed point digital signal processor. The underlying assumption of this implementation is to avoid any hardware accelerators that would make the platform for the baseband processing become standard specific.
