A field programmable gate array (FPGA) -based implementation of a physical random number generator (PRNG) is presented. The PRNG uses an alternating step generator construction to decorrelate an oscillator-phase-noise-based physical random source. The resulting design can be implemented completely in digital technology, requires no external components, is very small in area, achieves very high ...

An implementation of a reconfigurable FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is proposed for digital control and acquisition tasks associated with a water quality sensor calibration system. The system permits the water quality (WQ) sensor auto-calibration based on FPGA control of different actuators (pumps and electrovalves) and of WQ data sensor acquisition, real time WQ data processing based on...

A power efficient Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processor for use in the Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation of a wideband waveform is presented.
