This thesis investigates the use of a simple transformer-coupled resonator to increase the loaded Q of a LC resonant tank. The windings of the integrated transformer replace the simple inductors as the inductive elements of the resonator. The resonator topology considered in this project is a simpler alternative to another proposed by Straayer et al [5] because it just requires a single varactor. A prime objective of this project is to prove that a transformer-coupled resonator which is simpler than that proposed by Straayer in [5] produces the same reduction in phase noise. The use of this type of resonator topology is a valuable technique which can be employed by RF engineers to reduce the phase noise generated by oscillators in high speed RF systems. Such techniques which increase the loaded Q of the resonator are very useful in practice because of the inverse squared relationship between resonator Q and the phase noise in the output signals of LC oscillators. The important aspect of this technique is that magnetic coupling between the windings of an integrated transformer increases their effective inductance while leaving their series resistance relatively unchanged. As a result, the Q of these inductive elements is increased and the phase noise generated by the oscillator is reduced. SpectreRF simulations of an LC oscillator with a center frequency of 5GHz were used to verify the performance of the proposed transformer-coupled resonator.

Full textDistribuerad generation håller på att förändra transmissionsnätet till decentraliserat system där separata enheter som vindkraftverk eller solpanel skall samexistera och fungera tillsammans för att komplettera varandra och att göra ett omfattande system som helhet så kallade smarta elnät. Det är ytterst viktigt att ha en kontroll förmåga över sådana enheter inte bara på ett fältnivå utan även på systemnivå. För att kunna kommunicera med många enheter och bibehålla interoperabiliten som universell standard är ett måste. En av de grundläggande normer som är relevanta för smarta nät är IEC 61850 - Skydd & Automation, som kommer in i bistånd och möter ovan nämnda utmaningar. Detta projekt använder IEC61850-struktur för att implementera klient/server windows applikation för lindningskopplarens fjärrkontroll. Den föreslagna lösningen och utformade applikationer testas tillsammans med en realtidssimulator där enkelt kraftsystem modelleras för att emulera systemets svar på de givna styrsignalerna i realtid. På detta sätt kan de implementerade programmen prövas och bedömas hur de utföras i verklig miljö. Följaktligen kan användare av klientapplikationen fjärrstyra spänningen på transformatorns sekundärsida och manipulera ställverk som simuleras i modellen.

[Transformed Materials] is an exploration into today's design methodologies of architecture production. The emergence of architectural form is questioned in relation to the temporal state of design intent and the physical material construct. At a time when there is an increased awareness of the current state of technology, material innovation and methods of fabrication, there are new speculations of what materiality is and can be. This thesis will propose an architecture that emerges through an exploration of the material concept that directly informs and expresses the fundamental ideas of the project. Building methods have changed widely over time, and are co-responsible for creating a dialog between functional requirements, technological invention, and material implication that reflects the current cultural state. Today's architectural products have in a sense reverted back to thin surfaces. Current cultural issues such as socioeconomic, environmental impact, transportability, efficiency, lightness, storability, technology, and mass production, have over time created a state of "thinness ". This project tries to offset the current trend of building by accepting the norms of architectural products, and reinventing their role within a contemporary language that explores more deeply the material qualities and properties associates with it. This thesis will use steel as the primary building material. Steel is a material that has become standardized in how it is shaped and formed, thus its ability to produce an architecture has been reduced purely to a dogmatiC approach of engineered solutions or preconceived results. Steel, is artificial by nature; if we suspend our preconceptions of steel, could the material be designed such that its role is critical in defining space, structure and program in a tectonic system? The area of research and examination will be focused on the design of a Material Research Center (mRC). located in Milan, Italy.

Full textThis manuscript deals with the implementation of a reconfigurable Fast Fourier Transform architecture. The architecture is suitable for almost all the digital communication systems h using OFDM modulation. The first chapter starts with a reminder of the OFDM signal theories for which an Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (lOFT) is required on the transmitter side as well as a Direct Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) on the receiver side. This operation involves one of the greatest complexities of hardware implementation so that its optimization has a great importance. This chapter also presents the multiple ways in which the DFT and its inverse can be used in advanced OFDM modulations and demodulations. The goal of the second chapter is to explore the different ways of implementing the FFT. First, some general principles of the digital architectures are presented as well as the reconfiguration possibilities. Then, several FFT architectures are compared and classified depending on the way the operation is computed and whether the architecture is reconfigurable or not. The third chapter presents two algorithms of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) which are computable via the proposed architecture. After a quick presentation and classification of the main different FFT algorithms, both the Radix algorithm and the Winograd Fourier Transform Algorithm (WFTA) are studied in depth. This study leads to the possibility of a clever combination of these two algorithms allowing then to compute a larger group of FFT sizes. Chapter four presents the proposed architecture, which is the major contribution of this PhD thesis. This architecture involves three main elements: the reconfigurable butterfly, the twiddle factors computation and data storage in memories. Two configurations of the architecture are proposed. The first allows high throughput for the results of the operation while the second one is optimized in resources use and power consumption. A control architecture for the computation units is also presented. The following chapter introduces the issue of number representations in hardware descriptions. The two most important data representation forms (fixed point and floating point) are presented. As the fixed-point representation is retained in order to reduce the hardware complexity, a study presents the impact of the imperfect representation of real values. Results are given in order to choose the best compromises between the computing precision and the resources needs. These results are given in terms of Signal to Quantization Noise Ratio for several given data widths. The last chapter provides results of the implementation of the architecture for the Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting (DTIB) application. Lt first evokes the main features of the three DTIB standards that are considered (DVB, DMB and ISDB). Then the implementations parameters are presented for the two configurations presented in the fourth chapter. Results are then given in terms of resources use for many data widths as well as for time performances. A general conclusion sums up all the results and lists all the advantages and drawbacks of the proposed architecture. Some perspectives are given in order to lead to many optimizations as well as an implementation on an Application Specifie lntegrated Circuit (ASIC) target

With the rapid increase of cloud computing and the high demand for digital content, it is estimated that the power consumption of the IT industry will reach 10 % of the total electric power in the USA by 2020. Multi-core processors (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs) are the key elements in fulfilling all of the digital content requirements but come with a price of more power-hungry processors, driving the power per server rack to 20 KW levels. The need for more efficient power management solutions on the architecture level, down to the converter level, is inevitable. The data center manufacturers have recently adopted a more efficient architecture that supplies a 48V DC server rack distribution instead of a 12V DC distribution to the server motherboard. This helped reduce costs and losses, but as a consequence, raised a challenge in the design of the DC/DC voltage regulator modules (VRM) supplied by the 48V, in order to power the CPU and GPU. In this work, different architectures will be explored for the 48V VRM, and the trade-off between them will be evaluated. The main target is to design the VRM with very high-efficiency and high-power density to reduce the cost and size of the CPU/GPU motherboards. First, a two-stage power conversion structure will be used. The benefit of this structure is that it relies on existing technology using the 12V VRM for powering the CPU. The only modification required is the addition of another converter to step the 48V to the 12V level. This architecture can be easily adopted by industry, with only small modifications required on the system design level. Secondly, a single-stage power conversion structure is proposed that achieves higher efficiency and power density compared to the two-stage approach; however, the structure is very challenging to design and to meet all requirements by the CPU/GPU applications. All of these challenges will be addressed and solved in this work. The proposed architectures will be designed using an optimized magnetic structure. These structures achieve very high efficiency and power density in their designed architectures, compared to state-of-art solutions. In addition, they can be easily manufactured using automated manufacturing processes.

Full textThis thesis concerns the study and the rating of a high voltage multicellular converter with an intermediate medium frequency stage dedicated to railway traction. The objective is to reduce the weight and the volume of the AC-DC conversion stage which is implemented in railway engines running on 25kV-50Hz or 15kV-16Hz2/3 railways. Reduction on weight and size of the AC-DC converter may be applied on multiple unit trains where the transformer causes room loss for passengers and on locomotives and high speed trains where the axle load is limited. On one hand high voltage switches are required in order to minimize the number of cells used to build the converter. On the other hand, reducing the size and the weight of the transformer requires a high switching frequency, causing high commutation losses. To achieve soft switching conditions with high voltage semiconductors, the proposed topology is based on an association of dual structures. Each elementary converter combines a controlled turn-off voltage source inverter and a controlled turn-on current source inverter. In order to estimate the efficiency of the new topology, a prototype of one elementary cell working at 280 kVA, was built at the Power Electronics Associated Research Laboratory (PEARL). The switches are standard 6.5 kV/200A IGBTs modules. Soft-switching tests, in real operating conditions, allow evaluating IGBTs and diodes switching losses. Thanks to these results, it is possible to find the structure operating limits and to size the transformer considering the trade-off between the system efficiency and the transformer weight

Rapid urban growth has challenged our traditional planning methods. It has been a driver for the increase of overcrowded informal settlements in major cities of the developing world, which shelter one third of the world population. Lack of infrastructure, open spaces, and unsafe structures challenge the livelihoods of their citizens. Consequently, over the last fifty years, governments have addressed this issue in different ways, from eradicating informal settlements and building new housing, to retrofitting the existing conditions with infrastructure and public spaces through slum rehabilitation. Accepting the idea of working with existing developments to improve the status quo, architects, planners, artists and activists in general have relied on participatory planning and community engagement to improve urban conditions by addressing underlying local needs through small-scale interventions. This thesis introduces a new methodology to study, create awareness and inspire future leaders, children, to take action to transform public spaces in high-density informal settlements. It proposes a multi scalar bottom-up analysis, with innovative tools of representation and design to address the challenges of community public spaces. The 'Tracing Public Space' method has been developed through fieldwork in India, Venezuela and the USA. The method is based in observation, representation and design using a 'toolkit' that enables a two-way learning process between the designer as an 'outsider' and children as 'insiders'. The thesis is focused on fieldwork done in the Malvani Transit Camp in Mumbai where over forty years of informal and permanent growth the existence of open shared courtyards is threatened. These small-scale open spaces are crucial for communities, and particularly for the women and children who are their main users. Tracing Public Space becomes a vehicle to sensitize the community to protect courtyards from encroachments and promote an inclusive and adaptive use of shared space.

The discrete cosine transform (DCT) has been widely recognized as the most effective technique in the area of speech and image/video data compression. It also has been considered as the standard transform coding algorithm for image compression in JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts), MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group). In this thesis, we purpose a new architecture for the fast computation of a DCT. A new systolic array is proposed to compute the two-dimensional (2-D) DCT based on row-column decomposition. This architecture uses N2 multipliers to evaluate N×N-point DCT at a rate of one complete transform per N clock cycle. It processes the feature of regularity and modularity, and is thus well suited to VLSI implementation. Compared to existing regular architectures for the 2-D DCT, our method has better throughout performance, smaller area-time, and low communication complexity. The simulation results demonstrate that our architecture have good fixed-point error performance for real image. So the architecture is useful for applications required high throughput rates. The chip uses 25 MHz image sampling signal frequency. It was design by using cell-based methodology and fabricated with 0.6 μm SPDM technology. The gate count of the chip is about 70000 and the die area is 6150 μm×6150μm.

With the development of wireless communication and the evolution of semiconductor process, the radio frequency integrated circuit implemented in CMOS technology become the focal point in the industry with cost advantage. The power amplifier is the most critical component in the transceiver design. Thus the main focus of this thesis is on the design and analysis of power amplifier in CMOS. The chapter 2 describes a 24 GHz three series-connected (stacked) power amplifier implemented in 90 nm CMOS process. Increasing the supply voltage by stacking FETs to increase the power density per area without sacrificing reliability, and choosing the gate capacitance to generate the proper load impedance of each stacked-transistor by actual simulation. Adopting transformer in input and output terminals to achieve impedance matching, power combining and single to differential ended simultaneously in push-pull topology. The chip size is 0.27 mm2 and output power is 21.7 dBm. The chapter 3 describes a 77 GHz transformer combined power amplifier with 3-D architecture implemented in 90 nm CMOS process. The radial power combiner and splitter achieve the 8-ways power combination to increase output power. The radial power combiner with the function of impedance transformation reduces the impedance transformation ratio of output matching networks and alleviates the loss caused by large impedance transformation ratio. Sharing the center area of the chip to form a 3-D structure and thus the area occupied by the power combiner and power splitter can be reduced. The power cell adopts the transformer to realize power combining, impedance matching and single to differential ended simultaneously. The chapter 4 describes a 5 GHz high output power transformer combined power amplifier implemented in LDMOS process. By parallel-parallel combining transformer technique, the multiple transformers realize in the same area to reduce the area of multiple transformers in multi-way power combination. Thus it can maintain the area as 1-way transformer and function of multi-way power combination simultaneously. And using the 3-D radial architecture described in chapter 3 to further reduce the chip area.

With the development of wireless communication, the radial frequency integrated circuit with CMOS technology is valued gradually in the industry. Among the transceiver, power amplifier is the most critical component. As the reasons, the design and analysis of CMOS power amplifier is focused in this thesis. In chapter 2, an ultra-compact 24-GHz power amplifier implemented in 180-nm CMOS process. For compact chip size design, transformers are adopted to accomplish the functions of power combining, impedance matching and single-to-differential ended simultaneously. A virtual ground is generated at the symmetry of circuit by push-pull topology. DC bias can be fed directly without large value bypass capacitors, and the chip size is further reduced. The power amplifier achieves the smallest chip size 0.26 mm2 and the highest area efficiency around 24-GHz. In chapter 3, a K-band high output power transformer combined power amplifier with 3-D architecture implemented in 65-nm CMOS process. In order to achieve high output power, 8-ways power combining is realized by the radial splitter and radial combiner. The radial networks with the function of impedance transformation to alleviate the loss of input and output matching networks caused by large impedance transformation ratio. Thanks to the radial structure, the power splitter and power combiner can share the center area of the circuit by a 3-D architecture, therefore the area occupied by power splitter and power combiner can be reduced significantly. The power amplifier achieves the highest saturated output power 26.1 dBm with excellent area efficiency at K-band. In chapter 4, a 2-GHz Doherty power amplifier implemented in 180-nm CMOS process. All passive elements with λ/4 topology are fabricated off-chip on FR-4 board to diminish the chip size and mitigate the loss caused by elements to improve efficiency. The power amplifier performs 20% PAE and maintains 19% PAE at 6 dB power back-off.

In this thesis, the proposed design adopts SDF architecture. Moreover, we propose a new variable-length FFT processor with a novel algorithm, radix-2/4/8/16, for OFDM communication system. Due to the regularity and lowest hardware circuit complexity, radix-2/4/8/16 can efficiently minimize the number of complex multiplications and be implemented in VLSI design, especially in pipeline-based architecture. The proposed FFT processor can be used for the required length of IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX) standard. We have introduced some FFT algorithms. Due to implement more different length, we need a algorithm that can suit all 2n-point systems. In contrast, mixed-radix 4/2 FFT algorithm is capable of producing hardware with structure regularity, and it is more efficient than radix-2 FFT algorithm. It is therefore selected for improving adaptability and facilitation, and this FFT processor has been implemented by using VerilogHDL, ModelSim and Xilinx ISE for circuit design and simulation, respectively.

In this thesis, we propose an efficient architecture for the two-Dimensional Forward and Inverse Discrete Wavelet Transform (2-D DWT and IDWT). The proposed 2-D DWT architecture includes a transform module, a RAM module, and a multiplexer. In the transform module, we employ the polyphase decomposition technique and the coefficient folding technique to the decimation filters of stages 1 and 2, respectively. The RAM size is N/2 * N/2. The design scheme of the proposed 2-D IDWT architecture is employing the reverse manner. In comparison with other 2-D DWT and IDWT architectures, the advantages of the proposed architecture are the 100% hardware utilization, fast computing time, regular data flow, and low control complexity, making this architecture suitable for next generation image coding/decoding systems. In addition, we also apply wavelet coding to image compression, including 2-D wavelet image coding and 3-D wavelet video coding. From the simulation results, we find that wavelet coding is one of the most potential coding schemes for the high quality visual communications and the broadband integrated services digital network (BISDN) environment in the future. After that, by use of the block shifting technique, we propose a new method for reduction of blocking effects in very low bit-rate coding. The experiment results also demonstrate the feasibility of our proposed method. Finally, to minimize the requirement of delay elements, we investigate the best permutation strategy for temporal, vertical, and horizontal filtering in 3-D wavelet video coding.

In this paper, we propose the novel recursive method to compute discrete Fourier transforms (DFT). The advantages of proposed recursive structure are the reduction of the loop numbers and the signal to quantization noise ratio (SQNR) is greater than the well-known Goertzel’s method which requires the numbers of N2 multiplications and the numbers 2N2 additions. The Goertzel’s method is more efficient than the direct method, but the amounts of computations are still proportional to N2. The others algorithms of the recursive DFT, such as DFR-DFT and FFR-DFT, require 2N2 and N2 loop numbers to evaluate the all DFT outputs X[k]. For simplicity, the compact recursive DFT applied the grouped frequency indices to accelerate the computation of the DFT transformation. So we need less loop numbers than the others DFT transform, shown as Table I. The proposed recursive DFT transforms first separate the transform base into the two parts of the DCT and DST. During the computations of the DCT and DST, we require the amounts of the N transform bases. By the property of the period, we find the transform base to be repeated for the evaluating all DCT and DST. So we categorize the outputs of the DCT and DST into the same group which are required the same transform base. By using the shared coefficients, we can achieve to reduce the computation of the DCT and DST. We use the mathematical conceptions of the number theorem in order to group the transform outputs of the DCT and DST. By evaluating the factors of the input length N, we can first obtain the base set, shown as ={0,1,2,..., },then we can obtain the kernel number by the definition . Therefore we can achieve the grouped frequency indices in order to group the transform of the DCT and DST. Finally, the outputs of the DFT transform can be achieved by the combinations of the outputs of the DCT and DST. By sharing the loop coefficients and output coefficients, we can implement the recursive DFT with hardware sharing architectures.

In the last decade, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has proven to be a useful technique for a wide rage of application including signals analysis, signal compression, pattern recognition, biomedicine, and numerical analysis. Since DWT has excellent features of energy compaction and inherent scalability, it has been applied extensively in the field of image and video compression. The traditional DWT needs extensive computation complexity. In 1996, Lifting-Based Discrete Wavelet Transform (LDWT), is proposed. With some advantages, such as lower implementation complexity and easy VLSI implementation, LDWT has received considerable attention recently and been adopted in some image compression standards. The memory will be increased, when we process large images in DWT. In order to reduce the required memory, a new method will be discussed in this paper. Before image doing DWT process, we have to cut the image into n blocks. Then we accord the block’s sequence to do DWT. Because the new image size after cutting is only 1/N of the original. Therefore our necessary memory of DWT is reduced. On the side, an architecture will purposed to process the boundary effect problem in this paper.

The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) attaches great importance on signal analysis and data compression. The signal is divided into low-frequency and high-frequency subbands after the wavelet transform. It achieves signal processing goals in accordance with the different properties of each subband. When DWT is applied to real-time multimedia processing, the speed benefit of hardware implementation must be considered. Traditionally, DWT architecture was convolution-based and needs extra large computations. In 1996, lifting-based DWT was proposed by Sweldens. This scheme has the advantages of high-computation and memory savings. This makes it an important research issue. In recent years, there are many one-dimensional and two-dimensional DWT hardware architecture based on this proposed scheme. It also needs external memory to store temporary results for two-dimension processing. In this thesis, an efficient architecture for the implementation of two-dimension, lifting-based DWT has been proposed .The folded and the pipelined schemes were also applied. They support greater hardware utilization and sped up clock rates. The reuse of internal registers is applied for the removal of external memory. The proposed architecture was coded using Verilog-HDL initially, simulated by Modelsim, and verified by Matlab. Finally, it was implemented in an FPGA for an outcome in DWT VLSI architecture for real-time processing applications. Keywords: discrete wavelet transform, lifting

This thesis proposes a Discrete Cosine Transform architecture with high throughput and low area. This architecture can be applied in H.264 High Definition (HD) resolution video products. In H.264, the block sizes of the Discrete Cosine Transform are 4×4 and 8×8. The 8×8 block size transform is mainly used in Standard Definition resolution, High Definition resolution, and above Definition resolution. This thesis implements an 8×8 transform architecture. For application in HD resolution video products, the proposed architecture supplies enough high throughput, but a big area should also be associated with a high throughput. Through some property of the DCT, this thesis shows that the area can be reduced and then a high throughput and small area architecture can be implemented. In the proposed architecture, the specification of proposed architecture is 1080p and 60 frames per second. The proposed architecture is synthesized with TSMC 0.18 μm technology cell library and the operating speed is 81 MHz. In this operation speed, the proposed architecture has smaller area when compared with other architectures which also implement H.264 8×8 DCT architecture recently.

We compare and improve many word-level Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) architectures in order to save area and power while still maintain reasonable speed performance. A new arbitrary 2n-point constant-geometry Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) architecture is proposed which requires at most only one complex multiplier, four complex add/subtract elements, buffers and a control unit. Furthermore, other popular transforms, such as Walsh-Hadamard Transform (WHT), Complex Hadamard Transform (CHT), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Discrete Sine Transform (DST), Fast Hartley Transform (FHT) and their inverse transforms can also be realized on the above constant-geometry architecture by adding suitable pre-processing and post- processing units. The final goal is to design a unified low- hardware cost, low-power architecture which provides fast computation of various transforms. A proto- type was implemented by Field-Programmable Gates Array (FPGA) to obtain a rough area, speed and power estimation at architecture level.

The Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Inverse Discrete Cosine Transforms (IDCT) are widely used in various audio and image processing applications. Because of the computation complexity of these algorithms, the dedicated hardware is usually required to achieve the performance of real-time applications. This thesis presents an efficient implementation of a two-dimensional DCT/IDCT processor using a serial-parallel systolic array architecture. The data transfer between processing elements is propagated serially in order to reduce the data communication cost. The data within the processing element is computed in a parallel manner to make the architecture high-speed. By carefully collocating the propagate data in the register of processing element, the transposition operation can be eliminated in this architecture. The block size of 2-D DCT/IDCT and the bit-width of computation data are extracted as parameters that can easily and systematically be adapted to conform to the various imaging coding standard. The behavior and structure model in C language is used to verify the correctness of the 2-D DCT/IDCT computation and the parameterizable implementation. The precision analysis of the 2-D DCT/IDCT implementation was performed by MatLab. The DCT design cost about 14K gate counts when block size is 8 and bit width is 6. The numbers of gate count increase 4 times when block size increases 2 times and those increase about 1.5 times when bit width increases 2 times.

Fast Fourier transform is an important to implement a digital signal processing system. In the operation of FFT, it need to do complicated calculation. In each two-point butterfly computation, it need to read the correct data and twiddle factor from the memory address, then do the computation of multiplication and addition, and store the result in the memory, and provide the data for the next stage butterfly computation. For a fix length sequence butterfly computation, the address sequence of data and twiddle factor, depend on the data''s number and Different processing stages. So we provide an address generator using the arithmetic logic unit to simplify the computation of the memory address. It can also support various length N-Point FFT, and configure the address generator for the N-Point FFT. Because of the hardware complexity of the butterfly computation, we use the shift-add device to simply hardware implement, and share between multipliers. We can change the data sequences to decrease the numbers of the multipliers and ahift-add device and reduce the hardware complexity. In implementation, we use Xilinx ISE Foundation to build this structure with Verilog syntax, and to simulate the function with Modelsim. We implement N-Point FFT on Xilinx VirtexII-XC2V1000 FPGA, and verify the design of reconfigurable architecture with fast Fourier transform algorithm.

Abstract Discrete Wavelet Transform is an efficient signal analysis technique. The newly announced image compressing technique JPEG2000 is adopting DWT as the core technology. DWT is performed by convoluting the image with designed filter banks in order decompose the digital signals into the signals in the subbands. The hardware implementation for DWT has progressed in recent year. An important progress in DWT architecture is called Lifting-based DWT. This architecture has the same performance with only half the area of the original DWT architecture. At 2002, C. Huang, P. Tseng, and L. Chen proposed a “Flipping” structure for the Lifting-based DWT, in which the multiplication positions were changed to reduce the number of registers. With this structure, the same performance can be reached with even less area. The aim is comparison of the Peaks Signal of Noise Ratio under the difference between the Bit-width of the Flipping structure and the Lifting-based structure. Implementing Flipping structure and Lifting-based structure is the way to compare the difference in the different floating bits. The PSNR of the Flipping in our experiment is 60.64dB under the 7 bits of the floating. The PSNR of the Lifting-based structure is 62.27dB under the 7 bits of the floating. The optimum floating Bit-width of the Flipping structure’s PSNR is 7 Bits. The PSNR of the Lifting-based structure’s PSNR is better with the longer Bit-width. The outcome of PSNR is enough for us under the 7 Bits of two kind’s DWT structures. Under the 7 floating Bits, the total Bit-width of Flipping structure is shorter than them of the Lifting-based structure and lack 1.6dB in the PSNR. The outcome of the Flipping structure is better than the Lifting-based structure.

In this dissertation, both architectures for a 2-D DCT/IDCT using direct approach and an MPEG-2 MP@ML video decoder are proposed. Firstly, a novel 8x8 2-D DCT/IDCT architecture based on the direct 2-Dapproach and the rotation technique is developed. The computational complexity is reduced by taking advantage of the special attribute of complex number. Both the parallel and the folded architectures is proposed. Unlike other approach, the proposed architecture is regular, and economically-allowable for VLSI implementation. Compared to the row-column method, less internal wordlength is needed in order to meet the error requirement of IDCT, and the throughput of the proposed architecture can achieve two times that of the row- column method with 30% hardware increased.The folded 8x8 IDCT architecture is also implemented as a VLSI chip. Secondly, in the MPEG-2 video decoder, the bitstream isfirst surveyed, and, accroding to the bitstream, a suitable variable length decoder (VLD) for such application is designed. Based on the proposedarchitecture for the MPEG-2 decoder, the off-chip memory configuration and the decoding process are analyzed, and the decoding process, which includes VLD,inverse scan, inverse quantization, inverse DCT, and motion compensation, is implemented by VLSI with 27 MHz to satisfy the requirement of the MP@ML.

In the last decade, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has proven to be a useful technique for a wide range of applications including signal analysis, signal compression, pattern recognition, biomedicine, and numerical analysis. Since DWT has excellent features of energy compaction and inherent scalability, it has been applied extensively in the field of image and video compression. In 1996, lifting-based discrete wavelet transform (LDWT) is proposed. With some advantages, such as lower implementation complexity and easy VLSI implementation, LDWT has received considerable attention recently. In this paper, we propose an efficient VLSI architecture for 1-D LDWT, and its FPGA implementation. The architecture folds the computations of all resolution levels into the same low-pass and high-pass units to achieve higher hardware utilization. Because of its modular, regular and flexible structure, the design is scalable for different resolution levels. The number of registers in the folded architecture is minimized by using time scheduling and register allocation. Since the architecture has the similar topology of a scan chain, we can modify it easily to become a testable scan path design by adding very few hardware resources. In the first part, we present two different 1-D multi-level LDWT architectures by using 5/3 and 9/7 filters, respectively. Those architectures are suitable for 1-D DWT processing, such as speech compression. In the second part, we present a low-cost and high-utilization folded architecture for 2-D 3-level LDWT. The architecture can be used in 2-D digital image processing, such as JPEG2000 image compression standard. All proposed VLSI architectures are realized with verilog HDL, synthesized by the synopsys Design Compiler. Finally, the layouts for those designs are generated with the Avant! Apollo Tools in a 0.35um 1P4M CMOS technology.

In this thesis, a row share strategy, that combined factor share and distributed arithmetic are proposed to build low-cost DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) and IDCT (Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform) transforms. The proposed architecture can support multi-standard transform, such as MPEG-4, H.264, and VC-1 including 8 x 8、8 x 4、4 x 8 and 4 x 4 transforms. Besides, based on the similarities of DCT and IDCT transforms, we reuse the same circuits to manipulate DCT and IDCT by interlaced sorting methods. Not only the cost of area is saved, but 1D DCT(IDCT) and 2D DCT(IDCT) are also operated continuously to reach the high throughput rate and meet the demands of real-time system. A new parallel structure core circuit is proposed to have the advantages of high-throughput rate and low-cost area compared with previous works. The proposed core requires 68 cycles in latency for 128 data consisted of 2 8x8 blocks. The proposed design uses a TSMC 0.18-um 1P6M CMOS process to implement this chip. In simulation, the operating frequency is 125MHz in slow model and achieves 500MHz throughput rate with 39.5K gate counts. The proposed core can support HDTV(1920 x 1080P@60Hz) in real-time video encoder.
