This paper describes an embedded FFT processor where the higher radices butterflies maintain one complex multiplier in its critical path. Based on the concept of a radix-r fast Fourier factorization and based on the FFT parallel processing, we introduce a new concept of a radix-r Fast Fourier Transform in which the concept of the radix-r butterfly computation has been formulated as the combination of radix-2α/4β butterflies implemented in parallel. By doing so, the VLSI butterfly implementation for higher radices would be feasible since it maintains approximately the same complexity of the radix-2/4 butterfly which is obtained by block building of the radix-2/4 modules. The block building process is achieved by duplicating the block circuit diagram of the radix-2/4 module that is materialized by means of a feed-back network which will reuse the block circuit diagram of the radix-2/4 module.

Current computation architectures rely on more processor-centric design principles. On the other hand, the inevitable increase in the amount of data that applications need forces researchers to design novel processor architectures that are more data-centric. By following this principle, this study proposes an area-efficient Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processor through in-memory computing. The proposed architecture occupies the smallest footprint of around 0.1 mm 2 inside its class together with acceptable power efficiency. According to the results, the processor exhibits the highest area efficiency ( FFT / s / area ) among the existing FFT processors in the current literature.

There should be rapid, efficient and simple process for every scenario now a day. To compute the N point DFT, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is a productive algorithm. It has great applications in communication, signal and image processing and instrumentation. In the implementation of FFT one of the challenges is the complex multiplications, so to make this process rapid and simple it’s necessary for a multiplier to be fast and power efficient. To tackle this problem Karatsuba sutra and Nikhilam sutra are an efficient method of multiplication in Vedic Mathematics. This paper will present a design methodology of Double Precision Floating Point Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Processor.The execution time and complexity can be reduced by the algorithm which is there in Vedic.The main aim is to make FFT Processor process rapid and simple by designing a multiplier which is fast and power efficient by using double precision floating point and Vedic Mathematics concepts.

In this article, we present a modified constant-geometry based signal flow graph for memory-based real-valued fast Fourier transform architecture. Without an extra permutation, the corresponding address scheme solves the memory conflict and achieves continuous-flow operation with the minimal memory and computation cycles requirement when compared to the state-of-the-art designs. Besides, the address scheme meets the constraint of in-place operation, concurrent I/O, normal-order I/O, variable size, and parallel processing. The experimental results demonstrate the resource and frequency efficiency of the proposed address scheme.
