Abstract

A complex ±1 multiplier is an integral element in modern CDMA communication systems, specifically as a pseudonoise code scrambler/descrambler. Therefore, an efficient implementation is essential to reduce the critical path delay, power, and area of wireless receivers. A new architecture is proposed to achieve this complex multiplier function. Tradeoffs and design solutions as well as the interface with subsequent arithmetic circuits are discussed. Simulations exhibit a significant speed improvement as compared to alternative architectures. These results are also applicable to other arithmetic circuits.
