  • Patent number: 6751642
    Abstract: Interleaved type processing includes a preprocessing phase in which for each initial symbol received an auxiliary symbol that includes N auxiliary complex samples is formulated, and a processing phase that includes for each auxiliary symbol an inverse Fourier transform calculation of size N. The processing phase includes elementary processing of the butterfly type corresponding to several stages of a general butterfly-like calculation graph. The various stages of the graph are implemented within a pipelined architecture. Upon receiving an initial symbol, two separate random access memories are simultaneously used to respectively store in a first memory the auxiliary symbol corresponding to this initial symbol, and to perform on the basis of the content of the second memory the elementary processing corresponding to a first stage of the graph. The two memories are swapped with each new receipt of an initial symbol.

  • Patent number: 6631167
    Abstract: The post-processing of the transformation processing of an interleaved type is temporally nested with regards to two successive symbols, and includes storage in two separately addressable memories of identical size. The addressing of the two memories is performed successively and alternately in the natural and reverse order at the frequency with the symbol clock signal.
