The binary tree is used to represent the decomposition of a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) into sub-DFTs. The radix is adaptively changed according to compute sub-DFTs in proposed decomposition. In this work we determine the number of possible algorithms for 2 n -point FFTs with radix- 2 butterfly operation and propose a simple method to determine the twiddle factor indices for each algorithm based on the binary tree representation. I. I NTRODUCTION In many DSP algorithms the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and inverse DFT is used. Examples include orthogo- nal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems and spectrometers. An N-point DFT is expressed as

The simulation is based on a Method of Moments (MOM) numerical electromagnetic analysis of target scenes including foliage. The ability to accurately model the interaction of foliage and target is crucial for an accurate simulation. Example scenes for isolated metal targets are provided in addition to scenes with dielectric and combined metal and dielectric targets. As expected, the effect of the surrounding foliage is shown to have a significant impact on the reconstructed target image. This approach will be useful in FOPEN applications for the prediction of target signatures under various Conditions of concealment.

Metamaterials (MTM) that exhibit a simultaneously negative electric permittivity epsi and magnetic permeability mu, and thus a negative refractive index (NRI), have recently attracted considerable attention in the electromagnetic community. This has been motivated by the potential to create new microwave and antenna devices that exhibit superior characteristics compared to

Research paper thumbnail of Comparison of multiplierless implementation of nonlinear-phase versus linear-phase FIR filters

However, there are certain applications where the linear-phase property is not required, such as signal energy estimation, but IIR filters can not be used due to the limitation of sample rate imposed by the recursive algorithm. In this work, we discuss multiplierless implementation of minimum order, and therefore nonlinear-phase, FIR filters and compare it to the linear-phase counterpart.

ABSTRACT

Research paper thumbnail of On the efficient computation of single-bit input word length pipelined FFTs

IEICE Electronics Express, 2011

This letter describes an efficient architecture for the computation of fast Fourier transform (FF... more This letter describes an efficient architecture for the computation of fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms with single-bit input. The proposed architecture is aimed for the first stages of pipelined FFT architectures, processing one sample per clock cycle, hence making it suiable for real-time FFT computation. Since natural input order pipeline FFTs use large memories in the early stages, it is important to keep the word length shorter in the beginning of the pipeline. By replacing the initial butterflies and rotators of an architecture with that of the proposed block, the memory requirements can be significantly reduced. Comparisons with the commonly used single delay feedback (SDF) architecture show that more than 50% of the required memory can be saved in some cases.

The architecture is based on the Winograd Fourier transform algorithm (WFTA) and the complexity is equal to a 7-point DFT in terms of adders/subtracters and multipliers plus only seven multiplexers introduced to enable reconfigurability. The processing element finds potential use in memory-based FFTs, where nonpower-of-two sizes are required such as in DMB-T.
