Designing pipeline FFT processor for OFDM (de)modulation

Abstract
The FFT processor is one of the key components in the implementation of wideband OFDM systems. Architectures with a structured pipeline have been used to meet the fast, real-time processing demand and low-power consumption requirement in a mobile environment. Architectures based on new forms of FFT, the radix-2i algorithm derived by cascade decomposition, is proposed. By exploiting the spatial regularity of the new algorithm, the requirement for both dominant elements in VLSI implementation, the memory size and the number of complex multipliers, have been minimized. Progressive wordlength adjustment has been introduced to optimize the total memory size with a given signal-to-quantization-noise-ratio (SQNR) requirement in fixed-point... (More)

Progressive wordlength adjustment has been introduced to optimize the total memory size with a given signal-to-quantization-noise-ratio (SQNR) requirement in fixed-point processing. A new complex multiplier based on distributed arithmetic further enhanced the area/power efficiency of the design. A single-chip processor for 1 K complex point FFT transform is used to demonstrate the design issues under consideration. (Less)
