This paper presents on-chip implementation of high speed low latency floating point adder /subtractor with high accuracy performance for FFT in OFDM transceiver. However due to high performance and high resolution, the floating point adder is matched with power network applications as well. The design was implemented for 32-bit pipelined adder/subtractor which satisfied IEEE-754 Standard for floating -point Arithmetic. The design is focused on the trade-off between the latency and speed improvement as well as resolution and silicon area for the chip implementation. In order to reduce the critical path and decrease the latency, the novel structure was designed and …

Using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is indispensable in most signal processing applications. Designing an appropriate algorithm for the implementation of FFT can be efficacious in digital signal processing. Sophisticated techniques such as pipelining and parallel calculations have potential impacts on VLSI implementation of FFT algorithm. Furthermore, a mathematic approach such as floating point calculation achieves higher precision. In this paper, an efficient algorithm with using parallel and pipelining methods is proposed to implement high speed and high resolution FFT algorithm. Latency reduction is an important issue to implement the high speed FFT on FPGA. The Proposed FFT algorithm shows the …

The recursive and non-recursive comb filters are commonly used as decimators for the sigma delta modulators. This paper presents the analysis and design of low power and high speed comb filters. The comparison is made between the recursive and the non-recursive comb filters with the focus on high speed and saving power consumption. Design procedures and examples are given by using Matlab and Verilog HDL for both recursive and non-recursive comb filter with emphasis on frequency response, transfer function and register width. The implementation results show that non-recursive comb filter has capability of speeding up the circuit and reducing power …
