Design and implementation of complex multiply add and other similar operators
Pouya Dormiani, M.D. Ercegovac · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2008
In this paper we present an implementation of a series of complex-valued operators defined in Ref. 2: Complex-Multiply-Add (CMA), Complex-Sum of Squares (CSS), and Complex-Sum of Products (CSP). The preceding paper2 defined these operators at an algorithmic level, for which we now provide actual hardware performance metrics through detailed discussion of their implementation for an Altera Stratix II17 FPGA device. In addition to discussing these designs in particular, we present our methodology and choice of tools to create a pragmatic generator.
