Abstract

A Quasi Radix-16 Butterfly comprises an radix-4 butterfly processor and on-board memory with external memory addressing changes from a conventional radix-4 butterfly processor. On-chip cache memory is included to store data outputs of the radix-4 butterfly processor for application as data inputs to the radix-4 butterfly processor in a second series of butterfly operations to implement high-speed processing that is maximally execution-bound.
