Abstract
This paper describes a design of FFT/IFFT Core(FFT256/2k), which is an essential block in terrestrial DMB modem. It has four operation modes including 256/512/1024/2048-point FFT/IFFT in order to support the Eureka-147 transmission modes. The hybrid architecture, which is composed of R2SDF and R2SDC structure, reduces memory by $62\%$ compared to R2SDC structure, and the SQNR performance is improved by TS_CBFP(Two Step Convergent Block Floating Point). Timing simulation results show that it can operate up to 50MHz(a)2.5-V, resulting that a 2048-point FFT/IFFT can be computed in 41-us. The FFT256/2k core designed in Verilog-HDL has about 68,400 gates and 58,130 RAM. The average power consumption estimated using switching activity is about 113-mW, and the total average SQNR of over 50-dB is achieved. The functionality of the core was fully verified by FPGA implementation.
