Abstract :
Direct Data Domain (D3) algorithm is very useful in Space-Time Adaptive Processing (STAP) algorithms to mitigate the effects of multipath and interference. However, the computation of D3 is computationally intensive. A software tool is developed that is capable of auto-generating a fully optimized VHDL representation of D3 with many user input parameters without having to write a single line of VHDL code. It will provide feedback on various performance parameters such as occupied slices, maximum frequency, and dynamic range performance. So, the designer can focus on the overall SoC performance and make adjustments to the D3 as necessary. Many optimization techniques are used to improve throughput and latency.
