ASIC implementation of discrete fourier transform processing module

Abstract

This work presents the design and ASIC implementation of Discrete Fourier Transform Processing Module. The performance of designed DFT processing module is better than radix-2 and radix-4 FFT algorithms, and is comparable to Split radix FFT algorithm, in terms of computational requirements. Different architectures are proposed for DFT processing module, and their comparative analysis is done. ASIC implementation of Discrete Fourier Transform processing module includes, its modelling using Verilog HDL, gate level synthesis of the modelled design and physical synthesis of netlist generated by gate level synthesis. The functionality of Design after physical synthesis is verified. Designed DFT processing module is retargetable and can be used as an IP.
