Abstract

This paper presents a novel high-speed, low-complexity flexible 128/64-point $radix-2^4$ FFT/IFFT processor for the applications in high-throughput MIMO-OFDM systems. The high radix multi-path delay feed-back (MDF) FFT architecture provides a higher throughput rate and low hardware complexity by using a four-parallel data-path scheme. The proposed processor not only supports the operation of FFT/IFFT in 128-point and 64-point but can also provide a high data processing rate by using a four-parallel data-path scheme. Furthermore, the proposed design has a less hardware complexity compared with traditional 128/64-point FFT/IFFT processors. Our proposed processor has a high throughput rate of up to 560Msample/s at 140MHz while requiring much smaller hardware expenditure satisfying IEEE 802.11n standard requirements.

본 논문은 높은 데이터 처리율을 요하는 MIMO-OFDM 시스템을 위하여 고속의 낮은 하드웨어 복잡도를 가진 128/64-point $radix-2^4$ FFT/IFFT 프로세서 설계에 대해 제안한다. 높은 Radix 다중경로 지연 피드백 (MDF) FFT구조는 고속의 데이터 처리율과 낮은 하드웨어 복잡도를 제공한다. 제안하는 프로세서는 128-point와 64 Point FFT/IFFT의 동작을 지원할 뿐만 아니라 4-병렬 데이터 경로를 사용함으로써 높은 데이터 처리율을 지원한다. 또한, 제안하는 프로세서는 기존의 128/64-point FFT/IFFT 프로세서에 비해 낮은 하드웨어 복잡도를 지닌다. 제안된 FFT/IFFT 프로세서는 IEEE 802.11n 표준의 요구사항을 만족시키며 140MHz 클락 속도에서 560MSample/s의 높은 데이터 처리율을 가진다.
