Abstract

In this paper, a processor architecture tailored for radix-4 and mixed-radix FFT computations is described. The processor has native support for power-of-two transform sizes. Several optimizations have been used to improve the energy-efficiency of the processor and experiments show that a programmable solution can possess energy-efficiency comparable to fixed-function ASICs.
