Implementation
Prior to performing the Fourier transform, the samples undergo first an M-decimation and are
filtered using a complex 8-tap filter with independent real and imaginary paths. The filter
coefficients are entirely user defined and can be loaded or updated at anytime before or during
processing.
The FFT core uses a decomposition of radix-4 and radix-2 butterflies for computing the DFT,
ranging from 8 to 4096 points. The FFT length is a user programmable parameter and it can be
changed without the need to reconfigure the FPGA.
