Speedy complex FFT core fits on million-gate FPGA
RF Engines (RFEL) has released details of its first product in its vectis family of multi-radix-architecture pipelined complex FFT cores.
Updating spectrum analyser designs to replace traditional analogue components with modern digital techniques helps to make the systems easier to manufacture, more reproducible and more reliable.
The use of digital technology saves on the manufacturing alignment costs normally associated with analogue circuitry, and the guaranteed repeatability of the digital design reduces both the need for, and the costs of, ongoing calibration.
With the enhanced version of this first release core, new features also become possible.
