Abstract
The design and hardware implementation of two Digital Signal Processing subsystems is described. Rapid design evaluation, algorithm verification and hardware prototyping are facilitated using the serial pipelined hardware description language DFIRST, the event driven simulator dsim and the gate compiler trans. The two subsystems are individually hardware prototyped and tested using Xilinx and Actel FPGA devices.
Partial support for this work has been provided by the Alberta Microelectronics Centre, Bell Northern Research, the Canadian Microelectronics Corporation, Micronet, NSERC and the University of Calgary. The contributions of students in ENEL 619.70 and ENEL 611 who implemented designs using the tools are gratfully acknowledged.
