An Introduction to CIC Filters by Matthew P. Donadio
As data converters become faster and faster, the application of narrow-band extraction from wideband sources, and narrow-band construction of wideband signals is becoming more important. These functions require two basic signal processing procedures: decimation and interpolation. And while digital hardware is becoming faster, there is still the need for effcient solutions.  more>>
How to build ultra-fast floating-point FFTs in FPGAs by Ray Andraka, Andraka Consulting Group
Engineers targeting DSP to FPGAs have traditionally used fixed-point arithmetic, mainly because of the high cost associated with implementing floating-point arithmetic. That cost comes in the form of increased circuit complexity and often degraded maximum clock performance. Certain applications demand the dynamic range offered by floating-point hardware but require speeds and circuit sizes usually associated with fixed-point hardware. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) is one DSP building block that frequently requires floating-point dynamic range and high speed.  more>>
