Digital signal processing with VLSI technology

Abstract

During the last decade, a new generation of integrated circuits has been developed that is directly applicable to the implementation of advanced signal processors.Examples of such circuits include microprocessors, fast wide word memories, single chip multipliers, floating point adders, etc.Although important in their own right, as examples of advanced technology, such circuits are most significant as components for the development of more complex structures. This paper shows how one such structure, a high performance digital filter, is implemented using current technol ogy.

Application of an advanced signal processing engine to adaptive techniques

“…[1]- [4], that perform specific algorithms with a high degree of efficiency to general purpose computers that sacrifice efficiency in exchange for the ability to execute a wide spectrum of algorithms, [51- [9]. The approach discussed here is that of a special purpose computer designed to be optimum for those computationally intensive signal processing algorithms generally found at the front end of the data stream but less efficient for the data dependent downstream algorithms.…”
