Abstract

Speeding up fast Fourier transform (FFT) computations is critical for today's real-time systems targeting signal processing and telecommunication applications. Aiming at the performance improvement and the efficiency of FFT architectures, this paper presents an address generation technique which enables a radix- <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">b</i> processor to access in parallel <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">b</i> memory banks without conflicts during each stage's computations. Using <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">kb</i> memory banks at each stage leads to increasing the speedup of the algorithm by a factor of <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">kb</i> . The address generation can be realized in each radix- <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">b</i> stage by the use of lookup tables of size <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">O</i> ( <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">kb</i> <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> ) bits. The proposed technique is cost efficient and leads to the design of FFT architectures of high speedup and high sustained throughput.
