Abstract
In this paper, a Radix-8 structure for high-speed FFT is propose. Main block of the proposed FFT structure is Radix-8 DIF(Decimation In Frequency) butterfly. Even throughput of the Radix-8 FFT is twice than that of the Radix-4 FFT, implementation area of the Radix-8 is larger than that of Radix-4 FFT. But, implementation area of the proposed Radix-8 FFT was reduced by using DA(Distributed Arithmetic) for multiplication. For comparison, the 64-point FFT was implemented using conventional Radix-4 butterfly and proposed Radix-8 butterfly, respectively. The Verilog-HDL coding results for the proposed FFT structure show 49.2% cell area increment comparison with those of the conventional Radix-4 FFT structure. Namely, to speed up twice, 49.2% of area cost is required. In case of same throughput, power consumption of the proposed structure is reduced by 25.4%. Due to its efficient processing scheme, the proposed FFT structure can be used in large size of FFT like OFDM Modem.
