Abstract(in English) OFDM attracts attention in digital wireless communication systems. In the FFT circuit which is main processing of digital section in OFDM, a circuit scale and power consumption increase in depending on the number of the carrier waves. However, there is standards carrier waves more than 1024 for a high-performance which becomes a big problem in hardware design. In this paper, we propose a high-throughput, low-power method which gives a good tradeoff between throughput, power dissipation and hardware complexity. Two SRAM and radix4 circuits which are necessary for 1 word memory read/write operation enables the FFT circuits to reduce the number of processing cycles. We implemented FFT circuits based on our proposed method. The proposed architecture can reduce processing cycles by about 88% compared to the comventional circuit. As a result, We can reduce power by about 46% compared to the conventional circuit in the same throughput.
