An Efficient flexible common operator for FFT and Viterbi Algorithms
Résumé
Today's telecommunication systems require more and more flexibility, and reconfiguration mechanisms are becoming major topics especially when it comes to multi-standard designs. This paper capitalizes on the Common Operator technique to present a new common operator for the FFT and Viterbi algorithms. In the present work, the FFT/Viterbi common butterfly is investigated where reuse and power consumption is traded against throughput. Performance comparisons with similar works are discussed in this paper.
