Real-time implementation of wavelet-based Advanced Combination Encoder on PDA platforms for cochlear implant studies

This paper presents the real-time implementation of wavelet-based Advanced Combination Encoder on PDA platforms for cochlear implant studies. Three real-time implementations using the conventional FFT, our previous recursive DFT, and the wavelet transform are compared in terms of computational complexity, processing time and fixed-point accuracy. The results obtained show that this new real-time implementation on PDA platforms is computationally comparable to our previous real-time recursive DFT implementation while achieving a higher accuracy or a lower quantization error.
