Abstract

In an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-based wireless local area network receiver there are three operations that can be performed by a unique coordinate rotation digital computer (CORDIC) processor since they are needed in different time instants. These are the rotation of a vector, the computation of the angle of a vector and the computation of the reciprocal. This paper proposes a common architecture of CORDIC algorithm suitable to implement the three operations with a reduced increase of the hardware cost with respect to a single operation CORDIC. The proposed architecture has been validated on field programmable gate-arrays devices and the results of the implementation show that area saving around 28% and throughput increment of 64% are obtained.
