There is a natural preference to use floating-point implementations in custom embedded applications because they offer a much higher dynamic range and as a byproduct bypass the design hassle of ...
Engineers targeting DSP to FPGAs have traditionally used fixed-point arithmetic, mainly because of the high cost associated with implementing floating-point arithmetic. That cost comes in the form of ...
March 9, 2005-- RF Engines Limited (RFEL), the provider of high performance signal processing solutions for FPGA, has announced two new contract successes for its recently released HyperSpeed and ...
