VLSI Architecture for a Reconfigurable Spectrally Efficient FDM Baseband Transmitter
Invited journal contribution reporting results of industrial collaboration (ARM-UK and Alps-Electric-UK and Japan) with 2 EngD studentships funded. World-first demonstration of functionally complex yet practical hardware design of non-orthogonal FDM, allowing bandwidth saving in communication systems. The work derives new transmitter design algorithms, based on a unique modification of known FFT structures, optimised for spectrally efficient multi-carrier signal generation. These are verified analytically and then through a full design of a 32 nm CMOS integrated circuit. The designs were cited for applications beyond wireless. The work led Aeroflex to donate £1.8M to UCL. 1166 (IEEEXplore) downloads in 18 months.
