Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are an increasingly populartechnology for implementing digital signal processing (DSP)systems. By allowing designers to create circuit architecturesdeveloped for the specific applications, high levels of performancecan be achieved for many DSP applications providing considerableimprovements over conventional microprocessor and dedicated DSPprocessor solutions. The book addresses the key issue in thisprocess specifically, the methods and tools needed for the design,optimization and implementation of DSP systems in programmable FPGAhardware. It presents a review of the leading-edge techniques inthis field, analyzing advanced DSP-based design flows for bothsignal flow graph- (SFG-) based and dataflow-based implementation,system on chip (SoC) aspects, and future trends and challenges forFPGAs. The automation of the techniques for component architecturalsynthesis, computational models, and the reduction of energyconsumption to help improve FPGA performance, are given in detail.
Written from a system level design perspective and with a DSPfocus, the authors present many practical application examples ofcomplex DSP implementation, involving:
* high-performance computing e.g. matrix operations such asmatrix multiplication;
* high-speed filtering including finite impulse response (FIR)filters and wave digital filters (WDFs);
* adaptive filtering e.g. recursive least squares (RLS)filtering;
* transforms such as the fast Fourier transform (FFT).
FPGA-based Implementation of Signal Processing Systems isan important reference for practising engineers and researchersworking on the design and development of DSP systems for radio,telecommunication, information, audio-visual and securityapplications. Senior level electrical and computer engineeringgraduates taking courses in signal processing or digital signalprocessing shall also find this volume of interest.
