Abstract

In some signal processing applications, it is desirable to build very high performance fast Fourier transform (FFT) processors. To meet the performance requirements, these processors are typically highly pipelined. Until the advent of VLSI, it was not possible to build a single chip which could be used to construct pipeline FFT processors of a reasonable size. However, VLSI implementations have constraints which differ from those of discrete implementations, requiring another look at some of the typical FFT'algorithms in the light of these constraints.
