Our poster introduces an innovative RLS Lattice filter implementation for FPGAs. The signal processing applications typically require wide numeric range, and that poses a problem when using an FPGA implementation. Our approach is based on arithmetic using logarithmic numeric representation (LNS). The test application - an adaptive noise canceller - has been optimized for the Xilinx Virtex devices. It consumes roughly 70% of all logic resources of the XCV800 device and all block memory cells. The filter orders up to 252 at 7 kHz sampling frequency have been achieved using the 19-bit LNS arithmetic. The maximum performance of the application is about 70 MFLOPs including i/o conversions. It has been shown that the custom filter design can be 10 times faster than commonly used solutions.
