Across a range of applications, the two most common functions implemented in FPGA-based high-performance signal processing are finite impulse response (FIR) filters and fast Fourier transforms (FFTs).
In considering the design option for DSP vs. FPGA it is helpful to compare both architectures in a FIR filter application, writes Reg Zatrepalek One of the most widely used digital signal-processing ...
The design of Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters has evolved into a sophisticated discipline that balances signal-processing performance with hardware efficiency. Innovations in FIR filter design ...

In this paper, we first review in detail the basic building blocks of reconfigurable devices, essentially, the field-programmable gate arrays, then we describes a high-speed, reconfigurable Systolic ...
