  • Device for DFT calculation
    Patent number: 8566380
    Abstract: A device to perform DFT calculations, for example in a GNSS receiver, including two banks of multipliers by constant integer value, the values representing real and imaginary part of twiddle factors in the DFT. A control unit selectively routes the data through the appropriate multipliers to obtain the desired DFT terms. Unused multipliers are tied to constant input values, in order to minimize dynamic power.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 15, 2008
    Date of Patent: October 22, 2013
    Assignee: QUALCOMM Incorporated
    Inventors: Andrea Cenciotti, Nestor Lucas Barriola, Philip John Young
