Low power hardware implementation of high speed FFT core.
INTRODUCTION Fourier transforms play an important role in many digital signal processing applications including speech, signal and image processing. However, direct computation of Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) requires on the order of [N.sup.2] operations where N is the transform size. The FFT algorithm, first explained by Cooley...

Design of 16-point radix-4 Fast Fourier Transform in 0.18[micro]m CMOS technology.
INTRODUCTION The Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) plays a significantly important role in many applications of digital signal processing. Basically, it has been applied in a wide range of fields such as linear filtering, spectrum analysis, digital video broadcasting and orthogonal frequency demodulation multiplexing (OFDM). The rapidly increasing...

Hermite distributed approximating functionals as almost-ideal low-pass filters.
Abstract The two-parameter family of Hermite Distributed Approximating Functionals (HDAFs) is shown to possess all properties that are essential requirements in filter design. When properly scaled, HDAFs provide an arbitrarily sharp high-frequency cut-off while retaining their smoothness. More precisely, bounds on the Fourier transform of the HDAF...
