General underwater target detection methods adopt short-time FFT for estimate target doppler. This paper proposes the efficient target detection method, instead of conventional FFT, using approximate FFT for distributed sensor network target detection, which requires lighter computations. In the proposed method, we decrease computational rate of FFT by the quantization of received signal. For validation of the proposed method, experiment result which is applied to FFT based active sonar detector and real oceanic data is presented.

In this paper, we propose an efficient variable-length radix-8/4/2 FFT architecture for OFDM systems. The FFT processor is based on radix-8 FFT algorithm and also supports radix-4 or radix-2 FFT computation. We are using efficient "In-place" memory access method to maintain conflict-free data access and minimize memory size. Also we replace a very large lookup table with a twiddle factor generator which consumes less area then a ROM-based lookup table. The proposed FFT processor performs variable-length FFT including 64, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 and 8192 points which cover all the required FFT lengths used in 802.11a, 802.16a, DAB, DVB-T, VDSL and ADSL.

This paper proposes an area-efficient pipeline FFT processor for MIMO-OFDM systems with four transmitting and four receiving antennas. Since the MIMO-OFDM system transmits multiple data streams, the complexity for the MIMO-OFDM system with a single-channel FFT processor increases linearly with the increase of the number of transmit channels. The proposed FFT processor is based on multi-channel structure, and therefore it can efficiently support multiple data streams. With the mixed radix algorithm, the number of non-trivial multiplications of the proposed FFT processor is decreased. The proposed FFT processor is synthesized with CMOS $0.18{\mu}m$ process and reduces the logic gates by 25% over a 4-channel Radix-4 multi-path delay commutator (R4MDC) FFT processor. Since the MIMO-OFDM FFT processor is one of the largest modules in the systems, the proposed FFT processor will be a vast contribution improvement to the low complexity design of MIMO-OFDM systems.

In this paper, a Radix-8 structure for high-speed FFT is propose. Main block of the proposed FFT structure is Radix-8 DIF(Decimation In Frequency) butterfly. Even throughput of the Radix-8 FFT is twice than that of the Radix-4 FFT, implementation area of the Radix-8 is larger than that of Radix-4 FFT. But, implementation area of the proposed Radix-8 FFT was reduced by using DA(Distributed Arithmetic) for multiplication. For comparison, the 64-point FFT was implemented using conventional Radix-4 butterfly and proposed Radix-8 butterfly, respectively. The Verilog-HDL coding results for the proposed FFT structure show 49.2% cell area increment comparison with those of the conventional Radix-4 FFT structure. Namely, to speed up twice, 49.2% of area cost is required. In case of same throughput, power consumption of the proposed structure is reduced by 25.4%. Due to its efficient processing scheme, the proposed FFT structure can be used in large size of FFT like OFDM Modem.

We design and synthesize a 128-point FFT processor for multi-band OFDM, which can be applied to a UWB transceiver. The structure of a 128-point FFT processor is based on a Radix-2 FFT algorithm and a R2SDF pipeline architecture. The algorithm is efficiently modeled in VHDL and the result is simulated using Modelsim. Finally, they are synthesized on Xilinx Vertex-II FPGA, and an operational frequency of 18.7MHz has been obtained. It is expected that the proposed 128-point FFT processor can be applied to an entire FFT block as one of parallel processed FFTs. In order to obtain the enhanced maximum frequency of operation, we design the FFT module consisting of four 128-point FFT processors for parallel process. As a result, we achieve the performance requirement of computing the FFT module in multi-band OFDM symbol timing in 90nm ASIC process.

디지털 신호를 처리하기 위해 특별히 제작된 ADSP-2105는 빠른 Fied-point 연산과 Harvard-architecture로 구조화됐기 때문에 빠른 수행연산을 할 수 가 있다. 본 논문은 이 DSP 프로세서를 이용해 음성신호의 실시간 FFT 분석에 관한 방법을 소개한다. 실시간 FFT 분석기로서의 DSP 보드는 크게 음성신호를 받는 입력부분과 FFT를 계산하는 FFT 부분으로 나뉘어지는데, 입력부분은 AD1849로 8KHz로 데이터를 샘플링해 받게 되었고, FFT 부분은 실제로 DSP가 FFT를 수행하는 부분으로 되어있다. 실시간 처리를 구현하기 위해 입력 부분은 두 개의 뱅크로 만들어 한 뱅크에서 음성신호를 받아들이는 동안에 다른 뱅크에서는 FFT를 계산하도록 되어있어서 DSP 보드는 항시 음성신호를 샘플링 할 수 있는 상태를 유지할 수 있다. 그리고 FFT 처리부는 빠른 처리로 음성신호를 샘츨링할 뱅크가 채워지기 전에 실행되게 프로그램되어 있어 실제적으로 모든 음성데이타를 FFT 하게 되어있다.

Two basic FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) algorithms are the DIT(Decimation-In-Time) and the DIF (Decimation-In-Frequency). In spite of the advantage of the DIT algorithm is to generate a sequential output, various structures have not been made. In this paper, a new DIT Radix-4 FFT butterfly structure are proposed and implemented using Verilog coding. Through synthesis, it is shown that the 64-point FFT is implemented by 6.78 million gates. Since the proposed FFT structure has the advantage of a sequential output, it can be used in OFDM communication SoC(System on a Chip) which need a high speed FFT output.

Hamming window function with 1/2 overlapping is adopted to perform short-time FFT(ST-FFT) of a long period EEG signal occurred in real-time. In order to analyze efficiently EEG signals which have frequency characteristics in the range of 0 Hz to 100 Hz, a 256-point FFT processor based on single-memory bank architecture and radix-4 algorithm is designed. The designed FFT processor has high accuracy with arithmetic error less than 3%.

In radar systems, FFT (fast Fourier transform) operation is necessary to obtain the range and velocity of target, and the design of an FFT processor which operates at high speed is required for real-time implementation. The perfect shuffle network is suitable for high-speed FFT processor. In particular, twice perfect shuffle network based on radix-4 is preferred for very high-speed FFT processor. Moreover, radar systems that requires various velocity resolution should support scalable FFT points. In this paper, we propose a 8~1024-point scalable FFT processor based on twice perfect shuffle network algorithm and present hardware design and implementation results. The proposed FFT processor was designed using hardware description language (HDL) and synthesized to gate-level circuits using $0.65{\mu}m$ CMOS process. It is confirmed that the proposed processor includes logic gates of 3,293K.
