802.11a and 802.16a OFDM FFT Core

Overview

The FFT Core implements a FFT and inverse FFT suitable for use in Modulators or Demodulators for OFDM (COFDM) systems such as DVB-T/H, 802.11a and 802.16a.
It uses a fast and efficient radix-4 engine to compute the FFT. All logic is fully pipelined to clock at 4x - 7x sample rate, depending on FFT size.

Key Features

  • The FFT Core implements a 64-point or 256-point FFT and inverse FFT suitable for use in the Demodulator or Modulator of OFDM (COFDM) systems such as 802.11a and 802.16a.
  • It uses a fast and efficient radix-4 engine to compute the FFT. All logic is fully pipelined to clock at 4x sample rate.
    • Synthesis control for 64-point FFT, 256-point FFT or other sizes = 22n
    • Synthesis control of signal precision (variable width)
    • Performs forward and inverse FFT (IFFT)
    • Incorporates unit-delay input buffer which may be used for symbol timing
    • Inputs are gathered in time-order at sample rate
    • Outputs are produced in a burst at clock rate (3x or 4x sample rate)
    • Outputs are produced in scrambled order
