Signal processing algorithms implementation with FPGAs

Abstract

Programmable DSP algorithms are being implemented in a variety of applications. The FPGAs have become one of leading platforms for implementation of digital signal processing. However, there is still not defined straight forward path for DSP design process on FPGAs. In this paper the techniques for digital signal processing algorithms implementation with FPGAs are presented. Beside the traditional technique we present the IP instantiation technique from MATLAB and Simulink and the most promising C/C++ extensions, including the behavioural synthesis. Our intention is to give an overview of possible methodologies for DSP processing on FPGAs.
