A VLSI Array Architecture for Realization of DFT, DHT, DCT and DST
No full textA unified array architecture is described for computation of DFT, DHT, DCT and DST using a modified CORDIC (CoOrdinate Rotation DIgital Computer) arithmetic unit as the basic Processing Element (PE). All these four transforms can be computed by simple rearrangement of input samples. Compared to five other existing architectures, this one has the advantage in speed in terms of latency and throughput. Moreover, the simple local neighborhood interprocessor connections make it convenient for VLSI implementation. The architecture can be extended to compute transformation of longer length by judicially cascading the modules of shorter transformation length which will be suitable for Wafer Scale Integration (WSI). CORDIC is designed using Transmission Gate Logic (TGL) on sea of gates semicustom environment. Simulation results show that this architecture may be a suitable candidate for low power/low voltage applications
A 16-bit CORDIC rotator for high-performance wireless LAN
No full textIn this paper we propose a novel 16-bit low power CORDIC rotator that is used for high-speed wireless LAN. The algorithm converges to the final target angle by adaptively selecting appropriate iteration steps while keeping the scale factor virtually constant. The VLSI architecture of the proposed design eliminates the entire arithmetic hardware in the angle approximation datapath and reduces the number of iterations by 50% on an average. The cell area of the processor is 0.7 mm2 and it dissipates 7 mW power at 20 MHz frequency
New virtually scaling free adaptive CORDIC rotator
No full textIn this article we propose a novel CORDIC rotator algorithm that eliminates the problems of scale factor compensation and limited range of convergence associated with the classical CORDIC algorithm. In our scheme, depending on the target angle or the initial coordinate of the vector, a scaling by 1 or 1/?2 is needed that can be realised with minimal hardware. The proposed CORDIC rotator adaptively selects appropriate iteration steps and converges to the final result by executing 50% less number of iterations on an average compared to that required for the classical CORDIC. Unlike classical CORDIC, the final value of the scale factor is completely independent of number of executed iterations. Based on the proposed algorithm, a 16-bit pipelined CORDIC rotator implementation has been described. The silicon area of the fabricated pipelined CORDIC rotator core is 2.73 mm2. This is equivalent to 38 k inverter gates in IHP in-house 0.25 ?m BiCMOS technology. The average dynamic power consumption of the fabricated CORDIC rotator is 17 mW @ 2.5 V supply and 20Msps throughput. Currently, this CORDIC rotator is used as a part of the baseband processor for a project that aims to design a single-chip wireless modem compliant with IEEE 802.11a and Hiperlan/2
Modified virtually scaling free adaptive CORDIC rotator algorithm and architecture
No full textIn this article we proposed a novel CoOrdinate Rotation DIgital Computer (CORDIC) rotator algorithm that converges to the final target angle by adaptively executing appropriate iteration steps while keeping the scale factor virtually constant and completely predictable. The new feature of our scheme is that depending on the input angle the scale factor can assume only two values viz., 1 and 1/?2 and it is independent of the number of executed iteration, nature of iteration and wordlength. In this algorithm, compared to the conventional CORDIC a reduction of 50% iteration is achieved on an average without compromising the accuracy. The adaptive selection of the appropriate iteration step is predicted from the binary representation of the target angle and no further arithmetic computation in the angle approximation datapath is required. The convergence range of the proposed CORDIC rotator is spanned over the entire coordinate space. The new CORDIC rotator requires 22% less adders and 53% less registers compared to that of the conventional CORDIC. The synthesized cell area of the proposed CORDIC rotator core is 0.7 mm2 and its power dissipation is 7 mW in IHP in-house 0.25 ?m BiCMOS technology. To our knowledge, this is the smallest pipelined CORDIC rotator reported so far
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
