VLSI implementation of GSC architecture with a new ripple carry adder

The authors describe the VLSI implementation of a general sidelobe cancellor (GSC) using powers-of-two arithmetic. The chip needed for this design carries six multiplications and seven additions. The layout of this chip is based on the standard cell and regular structure approach. To reduce the propagation delay of its carry-save addition unit, a fast ripple carry adder which has a single NAND gate delay for carry propagation is designed. This adder is designed to reduce the propagation delay of carries by a factor of two.<<ETX>>
