Popis: The implementation of a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) algorithm plays a key role in many real-time applications. This study mainly deals with the design and implementation of a DFT processor with non-power-of-two (prime) problem sizes using the Rader algorithm. The proposed design focuses on increasing the speed to fulfil the requirements of the real-time data transmission by enabling data rates up to 10 Gbps. Despite its limitation to the prime size, it remains a promising tool in the signal processing aspect and takes its place among other techniques to achieve high-speed wireless communication. By avoiding the cumbersome process during twiddle factors computation as well as the butterfly structure, the outcome preludes to an ambitious architecture dedicated to high-speed design reaching over 233 and 92 MHz for DFT lengths of 7 and 67, respectively, on Virtex 6. Thereby, the obtained results prove the efficiency of the algorithm and show the trade-off to be established in terms of occupied area, throughput, latency, and power consumption.
