Implementation of weighted summation type fractional Fourier transform on FPGA

Abstract

Recently Fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) has got a variety of applications in digital signal and image processing. This paper presents a novel hardware architecture for real-time computation of Discrete Fractional Fourier Transform (DFrFT), which can easily be extended to other fractional transforms. The proposed architecture has been verified on Xilinx FPGA(XC6VLX240T), which can run at a frequency up to 291MHz while with high accuracy.
