Design and Simulation of FFT Processor Using Radix-4 Algorithm Using FPGA

A parallel and pipelined Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processor for use in the Orthogonal Frequency division Multiplexer (OFDM) and WLAN, unlike being stored in the traditional ROM. The twiddle factors in our pipelined FFT processor can be accessed directly. A novel simple address mapping scheme and the modified radix 4 FFT also proposed. FPGA was majorly used to develop the ASIC IC’s to which was implemented. Here we simulated and synthesized the 256point FFT with radix-4 using VHDL coding and 64 point FFT Hardware implementation we designed code using System C. Finally, the pipelined 256-point FFT processor can be completely implemented within 19.103ns. KeywordsFFT, DIT, Radix4, FPGA
