Patent number: 8606839Abstract: A method for computing a fast Fourier transform (FFT) in a parallel processing structure uses an interleaved computation process. In particular, the interleaved FFT computation process intertwines the output of two different shifted Fourier matrices to obtain a Fourier transform of an input vector. Next, an even-odd extension process is applied to the transformed input vector, whereupon various terms are grouped in a computational tree. As such, the resulting segmentation of the computation allows the fast Fourier transform to be computed in a parallel manner.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2008Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: The University of AkronInventors: Dale H. Mugler, Nilimb Misal

Patent number: 8601044Abstract: Circuitry performing Discrete Fourier Transforms. The circuitry can be provided in a fixed logic device, or can be configured into a programmable integrated circuit device such as a programmable logic device. The circuitry includes a floating-point addition stage for adding mantissas of input values of the Discrete Fourier Transform operation, and a fixed-point stage for multiplying outputs of the floating-point addition stage by twiddle factors. The fixed-point stage includes memory for storing a plurality of sets of twiddle factors, each of those sets including copies of a respective twiddle factor shifted by different amounts, and circuitry for determining a difference between exponents of the outputs of the floating-point stage, and for using that difference as an index to select from among those copies of that respective twiddle factor in each of the sets.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2010Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Altera CorporationInventor: Martin Langhammer

Patent number: 8572149Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and methods for dynamic data-based scaling of data. The disclosed methods and apparatus involve storing one or more input data samples, which are to be scaled and input to a processing function such as a Fast Fourier Transform. A scaling value operable for scaling the one or more data samples is determined based on the one or more input data samples, and then the stored data samples are scaled based on the computed scaling value when read out of storage prior to the processing function. The scaling of data based on the input data allows the data to be scaled dynamically, not statically, and ensures that the data fits within a desired bit width constraint of the processing function thereby economizing processing resources.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2010Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Brian C.
