Paper Title
Design of a High Speed Multiplier Less Radix 2^K FFT Architecture for High Rate OFDM Applications
Abstract
In this paper, we propose the design of a high speed reconfigurable CORDIC based FFT architecture which is
a key component in the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing modulation scheme. FFT has been used in the sub
carier mapping layer which is main driving force in high rate WPANs. This proposed architecture consists of radix-22
where twiddle factor multiplications is optimized using pre processing steps.In particular,this generalized radix-2k FFT
architecture uses only three multiplication unit for complex multiplications and to replace the multiplication units by shift
and add units using CORDIC.Thus,the proposed architecture is built with reduced hardware requirements and less
number of complex multiplications in computing FFT. The twiddle factor memory is also reduced thereby increasing the
speed of the computation.
