Optimized Pipelined Fast Fourier Transform Using Split and Merge Parallel Processing Units for OFDM

This paper presents a new optimized design to implement Fast Fourier Transform in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing for real valued signals. The proposed method is a new pipelined design, it is the combination of serial as well as parallel split and merge processing butterfly units. The proposed design initially has a single processing unit, in second stage, processing unit splits into two parallel processing units, and thereafter from...
