This paper describes a new design approach and an architecture for a direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDFS) based on least square (LS) approximation. It is shown that the architecture can be implemented as a low-cost, low-power, feedforward, and easily pipelineable datapath. A prototype IC has been designed and fabricated in TSMC 0.25 /spl mu/m CMOS technology. The IC produces 14-bit sine and...Show More
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system is famous for its robustness against frequency selective fading channel. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Inverse FFT (IFFT) processor ire used as the modulation/demodulation kernel in the OFDM systems. The sizes of FFT/IFFT processors are varied in the different applications of OFDM systems. In this paper, we design and implement a prog...Show More
