The design of finite impulse response (FIR) filters remains a cornerstone of digital signal processing, with ongoing efforts to refine both the algorithmic and hardware aspects of their implementation ...

In this paper, we first review in detail the basic building blocks of reconfigurable devices, essentially, the field-programmable gate arrays, then we describes a high-speed, reconfigurable Systolic ...

Part 2 shows how to optimize filter banks using high-level synthesis tools, and reviews the results of each optimization. Filter banks are part of a group of signal processing techniques that ...

Before we show how to optimize a FIR filter, let's review the basics of DSP architectures. (If you are already familiar with these basics, you can skip ahead to the page 2. To learn more about the ...

Digital signal processors (DSPs) continue to receive a great deal of attention in new product design. For example, digital filter design reflects the importance of understanding and using this ...

Digital upconverters (DUCs) and digital downconverters (DDCs) are important components of every modern wireless base station design. While many DUC and DDC designs are available, there is a clear call ...

In considering the design option for DSP vs. FPGA it is helpful to compare both architectures in a FIR filter application, writes Reg Zatrepalek One of the most widely used digital signal-processing ...
