An efficient pipeline MDC Radix-4 FFT structure is proposed in this paper. Every stages in pipeline FFT structure consists of delay' commutator and butterfly. Proposed butterflies in front and rear stages utilize CORDIC and Common Sub-expression Sharing(CSS) techniques, respectively. It is shown that proposed butterfly structure can reduce the number of adders through sharing common patterns of CSD type coefficients. The Verilog-HDL modeling and Synopsys logic synthesis results that the proposed structure show 48.2% cell area reduction in the complex multiplication part and 22.1% cell area reduction in overall 256-point FFT structure comparison with those of the conventional structures. Consequently, the proposed FFT structure can be efficiently used in various OFDM systems.

In this paper, a low-power 8-point DCT structure is proposed using add and shift operations. Proposed structure adopts 4 cycles for complete 8-point DCT in order to minimize size of hardware and to enable high-speed processing. In the structure, hardware for the first cycle can be shared in the next 3 cycles since all columns in the DCT coefficient matrix are common except sign. Conventional DCT structures implemented with only add and shift operation use CSD(Canonic Signed Digit) form coefficients to reduce the number of adders. To reduce the number of adders further, we propose a new structure using common sub-expression sharing techniques. With this techniques, the proposed 8-point DCT structure achieves 19.5% adder reduction comparison to the conventional structure using only CSD coefficient form.

In this paper, a low-area 256-point FFT structure is proposed. For low-area implementation CSD(Canonic Signed Digit) multiplier method is chosen. Because multiplication type should be less for efficient CSD multiplier application to the FFT structure, the Radix-$4^2$ algorithm is chosen for those purposes. After, in the proposed structure, the number of multiplication type is minimized in each multiplication block, the CSD multipliers are applied for implementation of multiplication. Furthermore, in CSD multiplier implementation, cell-area is more reduced through common sub-expression sharing(CSS). The Verilog-HDL coding result shows 29.9% cell area reduction in the complex multiplication part and 12.54% cell area reduction in overall 256-point FFT structure comparison with those of the conventional structure.

In this paper, a low-power structure for 512 tap FIR filter in MPEG audio algorithm is proposed. By using CSD(Canonic Signed Digit) form filter coefficients and maximum sharing of input signal sample, it is shown that the number of adders of proposed structure can be minimized. To minimize the number of adders, the proposed structure utilizes the 4 steps of sharing, i.e., common input sharing, linear phase symmetric filter coefficient sharing, block sharing for common input, and common sub-expression sharing. Through Verilog-HDL coding, it is shown that reduction rates in the implementation area and relative power consumption of the proposed structure are 60.3% and 93.9% respectively, comparison to those of the conventional multiplier structure.

In this paper, a low-power 32-point IMDCT structure is proposed for MP3. Through re-odering of IMDCT matrices, we propose the systolic structure operating with 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1 cycle, respectively. To reduce power consumption, multiplication of each sub blocks are implemented by add and shift operation with CSD(Canrmic sigled digit) form coefficients. To reduce, furthermore, the number of adders, we utilize the common sub-expression sharing techniques. With these techniques, the relative power consumption of the proposed structure is reduced by 58.4% comparison to the conventional structure using only 2's complement form coefficient. Validity of the proposed structure is proved through Verilog-HDL coding.

The low-power design of the A/D converter is indispensable to achieve the compact bio-signal measuring device with long battery duration. In this paper, new decimation filter structure is proposed for the low-power design of the Sigma-Delta A/D converter in the bio-instruments. The proposed filter is based on the non-recursive structure of the CIC (Cascaded Integrator Comb) decimation filter in the Sigma-Delta A/D converter. By combining the CSD (Canonic Signed Digit) structure with common sub-expression sharing technique, the proposed decimation filter structure can significantly reduce the number of adders for implementation. For the fixed decimation factor of 16, the 15％ of power consumption saving is achieved in the proposed structure in comparison with that of the conventional polyphase CIC filter.

In this paper, a low-area FFT structure using $Radix-4^2$ algorithm is proposed. The large point FFT structure consists of cascade connection of the many stages. In implementation of large point FFT using $Radix-4^2$ algorithm, stages which number of different coefficients are only 3 appear in every 2 stages. For example, in the 4096-point FFT, the stages that number of different coefficients are 3 appear in stage 1, 3, and 5 among 6 stages. Multiplication block area of these 3 stages can be reduced using CSD(Canonic Signed Digit) and common sub-expression sharing techniques. Using the proposed structure, the 256-point FFT is implemented with the Verilog-HDL coding and synthesized by $1.971mm^2$ cell area in tsmc $0.18{\mu}m$CMOS library. This result shows 23% cell area reduction compared with the conventional structure.

In this paper, a low area timing synchronization structure for the IEEE 802.11a OFDM MODEM SoC is proposed. The timing synchronization block of the IEEE 802.11a OFDM MODEM SoC requires large implementation area.
