Abstract :
A novel signal processing architecture is described that performs the fast Fourier transform (FFT) in near-optimum time, with minimal hardware. State-of-the-art circuitry and careful layout support ultrafast operations. The processor is capable of executing several signal processing algorithms utilizing a microprogrammable control unit. Array applications can make convenient use of this dedicated processor as a peripheral number cruncher
