Introduction
The polyphase filterbank algorithm is a very efficient way to implement a uniformly
distributed multi-channel filterbank using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). This Intellectual
Property (IP) core was designed to process data in real time up to rates of 1GSPS in Virtex-4
devices. Sundance’s core is the fastest and the most efficient available in the FPGA world.
Features
