In the last month, FPGA vendors launched a wave of architectures targeting signal processing. These new architectures—the Xilinx Virtex-4, the Lattice Semiconductor LatticeECP, and the Altera Cyclone ...

A digital communication system shares many similar building blocks that comprise a digital TV transmission system design. These key building blocks begin with channel coding and modulation techniques.

Leveraging 90-nm process rules and a logic architecture that minimizes chip area, the Cyclone II FPGAs deliver a cost-sensitive, high-performance solution. Diminishing lifetimes of consumer and other ...

This course covers the systematic design of real-time digital systems and verification techniques using field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The course presents a top-down design methodology, where ...

The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) remains a cornerstone of digital signal processing, underpinning applications from telecommunications to medical imaging. Modern FFT processors and architectures have ...

RedShark Replay: Although four years old, this, one of our most popular articles is as relevent today as it was back then. FPGAs are modern miracles of technology. They're silicon chips whose hardware ...
