Low Power 64 Point FFT Processor

Objectives: This paper proposes a design of Low power FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) processor used in OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) application as there is demand for low power design of portable communication device. Methods: This FFT processor is based on SDF (Single Path Delay Feedback) pipelined Architecture. Digit slicing multiplier less architecture aids in realizing the complex Multiplication. To reduce power dynamic power dissipation, the proposed architecture applies clock gating buffer. Control circuit is implemented using Gray code sequence instead of binary code sequence. The design proposed here is implemented in Verilog HDL. Cadence tool is used for synthesizing the proposed design Findings: The number of complex multiplication is also reduced by using radix -25 algorithms. The result shows reduced power consumption up to 25%. Improvements: This paper is presented for 64 Point FFT design; this can also be extended for Higher N point FFT design.
