Digital Design of Signal Processing Systems 
A Practical Approach

Digital Design of Signal Processing Systems discusses a
spectrum of architectures and methods for effective implementation
of algorithms in hardware (HW). Encompassing all facets of the
subject this book includes conversion of algorithms from
floating-point to fixed-point format, parallel architectures for
basic computational blocks, Verilog Hardware Description Language
(HDL), System Verilog and coding guidelines for synthesis.

The book also covers system level design of Multi Processor
System on Chip (MPSo C); a consideration of different design
methodologies including Network on Chip (No C) and Kahn Process
Network (KPN) based connectivity among processing elements. A
special emphasis is placed on implementing streaming applications
like a digital communication system in HW. Several novel
architectures for implementing commonly used algorithms in signal
processing are also revealed. With a comprehensive coverage of
topics the book provides an appropriate mix of examples to
illustrate the design methodology.

Key Features:

* A practical guide to designing efficient digital systems,
covering the complete spectrum of digital design from a digital
signal processing perspective

* Provides a full account of HW building blocks and their
architectures, while also elaborating effective use of embedded
computational resources such as multipliers, adders and memories in
FPGAs

* Covers a system level architecture using No C and KPN for
streaming applications, giving examples of structuring MATLAB code
and its easy mapping in HW for these applications

* Explains state machine based and Micro-Program architectures
with comprehensive case studies for mapping complex
applications

The techniques and examples discussed in this book are used in
the award winning products from the Center for Advanced Research in
Engineering (CARE). Software Defined Radio, 10 Gigabit Vo IP
monitoring system and Digital Surveillance equipment has
respectively won APICTA (Asia Pacific Information and Communication
Alliance) awards in 2010 for their unique and effective
designs.
