Abstract

This paper describes recent progress in the implementation of high speed spectrum analysis systems with state-of-the-art commercial and semi-custom VLSI circuits. Initial efforts are producing Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and inverse FFT processors that operate at data rates of up to 40 MHz (complex). The current implementation computes transforms of up to 16,384 points in length by means of the radix 4 pipeline FFT algorithm. The interstage reordering is performed by delay commutators implemented with semi-custom VLSI, while the arithmetic is performed by commercial single chip 22 bit floating point adders and multipliers. This paper explains the pipeline FFT implementation and focuses attention on the arithmetic used to realize the design.
