FPGA Processors
The use of FPGAs has revolutionized the way DSP subsystems are configured. With a large number of gates, hardware multipliers and high-speed serial interfaces, an FPGA can outperform a microprocessor by a factor of ten or more. FPGAs are applicable to a variety of applications including RADAR, signal intelligence and image processing that have elements of computing that are characterized by repetitive fixed-point processing that can be expressed in highly parallel form. FFTs, pulse compression, filters, and digital down converters are examples of functions that FPGAs perform well. In deployed systems, this technical advantage translates to smaller, lower-power and lower-cost systems.
