Design of serial pipeline SRFFT for OFDM system

OFDM시스템에 적합한 Serial Pipeline 방식의 SRFFT 설계

FFT/IFFT block is very important module to determine the performance of OFDM system. This block has been implemented using several FFT algorithms such as radix-2, radix-4 etc. However SRFFT algorithm has not been implemented because of the complexity for implementation. This paper proposes a serial-pipeline SRFfT for OFDM system. The serial-pipeline SRFFT is optimized to use a serial input and serial output. We have implemented the SRFFT block using anam 0.25 Um five-metal process. The simulation show that the SRFFT block can operate about 200MHz. This architecture could be adapted to IEEE 802.lla wireless LAN standard.
