Digital Signal Processing with Field Programmable Gate Arrays

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are on the verge of revolutionising digital signal processing.

Novel FPGA families are increasingly replacing ASICs and PDSPs for front-end digital signal processing algorithms.

The efficient implementation of these algorithms is the main goal of this book.

It starts with an overview of todays FPGA technology, devices and tools for designing DSP systems.

A case study in the first chapter is the basis for more than 30 design examples.

The following chapters deal with topics such as computer arithmetic concepts and the theory and the implementation of FIR and IIR filters.

The VERILOG source code and a glossary are contained in the appendices.

The accompanying CD-ROM contains examples in VHDL and Verilog code as well as the newest Altera 'Baseline' software.
