  • OFDM processing system and method
    Patent number: 9313069
    Abstract: A method and system for processing an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) signal. The system includes a signal source configured to provide a sequence of ordered data values and a corresponding sequence of ordered addresses. A plurality of processors includes a first processor and a last processor, wherein the first processor is coupled to the signal source. Each processor is configured to pass the data values without modification and modify the addresses of the corresponding data values. The system further includes a memory coupled to the last processor. The memory is configured to store each data value from the last processor at a corresponding modified address of the memory provided by the last processor.
