ESE 575 - Advanced VLSI Signal Processing Architecture

This course is concerned with advanced aspects of VLSI architecture in digital signal processing and wireless communications. The first phase of the course covers the derivation of both data transformation and control sequencing from a behavioral description of an algorithm. The next phase reviews the general purpose and dedicated processor for signal processing algorithms. This course focuses on low-complexity high-performance algorithm development and evaluation, system architecture modeling, power-performance tradeoff analysis. The emphasis is on the development of application-specific VLSI architectures for current and future generation of wireless digital communication systems. An experimental/research project is required.
