Abstract

The number of usable gates in field programmable gate array (FPGA) logic has recently reached a level which allows their use as computational structures in digital signal processing (DSP) applications. This paper reports on the development of a scalable computing architecture based on Xilinx (CMOS) XC4010 FPGAs for real-time digital signal processing. The architecture requirements for efficient implementation of common DSP algorithms on FPGA platforms are considered. An analysis of the implementation and performance of a high-bandwidth finite impulse response (FIR) filter is presented. A second design using data requantization and spectral shaping to achieve higher order filters is also described
