By transforming to 2D-FFT implementation, investigating different binary tree schemes, and exploring various radices, butterflies, as well as data path structures, many hardware architectures have been designed to enhance single-channel large FFT or multi-channel medium-small size FFT performance. These designs fall short in addressing the demands of multi-channel pipelined and large FFT applications. In this article, a self-attention multipath delay feedback (SA-MDF) algorithm is proposed to analyze and identify the most critical bottleneck, then automatically pay attention to improve it, and finally generate the optimal FFT framework by exhaustively exploring the design space. The proposed algorithm alleviates the design difficulties and speeds up the FPGA implementation. Furthermore, an approximate roofline model and a novel binary tree scheme are introduced to further minimize the utilization of on-chip memory. A comprehensive comparison in terms of principles, implementation methods, and optimization effects is conducted when compared with other multi-channel FFT architectures. Experimental results show that the proposed FFT architectures are superior to other FFT implementations in terms of channel count, FFT length, high-throughput data arrangement, and adaptability to diverse hardware platforms.","PeriodicalId":13039,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers","volume":"72 5","pages":"2189-2201"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143888314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We discuss their stability, the flexibility they afford, and various representations useful for analysis, design and implementations. We do this for a generalization of second-order filters which we refer to as rational-exponent Generalized Exponent Filters (GEFs) that are useful for a diverse array of applications. We present equivalent representations for rational-exponent GEFs in the time and frequency domains: transfer functions, impulse responses, and integral expressions - the last of which allows for efficient real-time processing without preprocessing requirements. Rational-exponent filters enable filter characteristics to be on a continuum rather than limiting them to discrete values thereby resulting in greater flexibility in the behavior of these filters without additional complexity in causality and stability analyses compared with classical filters. In the case of GEFs, this allows for having arbitrary continuous rather than discrete values for filter characteristics such as 1) the ratio of 3dB quality factor to maximum group delay - particularly important for filterbanks which have simultaneous requirements on frequency selectivity and synchronization; and 2) the ratio of 3dB to 15dB quality factors that dictates the shape of the frequency response magnitude.","PeriodicalId":13039,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers","volume":"72 5","pages":"2139-2152"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143888363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To leverage the capabilities of software and hardware, a co-optimization design from a neural network based algorithm to the architecture of transmitter, receiver and optical components is realized. Firstly, an object detection neural network is proposed for the depth-only input algorithm, which indicates the Region of Interest (ROI) in the illuminating field and gives hints of opened scan channels in the next two frames to decrease the total cost of the laser driver and sensor array. Next, the proposed network utilizes the Cross-Stage-Patrial (CSP) block to replace the residual structure in the backbone to achieve a lightweight performance and is implemented on the NVIDIA-Jetson to verify the system-level adaptive beam steering feature. To realize the smart working mode, a customized multi-channel and addressable TX is designed for adaptive and optical control to save power consumption and extend the ranging distance. At the same time, a <inline-formula> <tex-math>$128times 80$ </tex-math></inline-formula> resolution RX which consists of Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPADs) and column-wise Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) is incorporated to capture the returned photons for combining sub-regions into an entire depth map. Next, to customize the specific scanning mechanism, for the optical setup, a cylindrical lens array is designed to reshape the laser beam, which matches the pattern of the transmitter to illuminate different targeted objects. Both the laser driver chip and the sensor chip with a <inline-formula> <tex-math>$128times 80$ </tex-math></inline-formula> SPAD array are fabricated in the 180-nm Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) process. Finally, the laser driver chip realizes the power of 5 W with an adjustable pulse width of 1.5 ns and the SPAD array integrates the depth accuracy of 5 cm at 15 m. Due to that the neural network realizes an accuracy up to 0.8, a low-power solid-state LiDAR prototype with adaptive beam steering is demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":13039,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers","volume":"72 5","pages":"2089-2102"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143888312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The receiver’s output voltage is locally regulated using a linear current-sink-based regulator, while global power regulation is achieved at the transmitter through a hybrid control strategy that combines constant off-time and hysteretic control for a reconfigurable power amplifier. Synchronized load-shift keying at the receiver improves the relative change in the primary current of the transmitter by >15%.

The end-to-end efficiency is improved by 25% at heavy load and 14% at light load by enabling TX global power regulation.
