Abstract

An apparatus is provided. In the apparatus, an input to index (I2I) module maps a complex input into a real signal. A real data tap delay line is coupled to the I2I module and includes N delay-elements. A complex data tap delay line is configured to receive the complex input and includes M delay elements. A set of K of non-linear function modules is also provided. Each non-linear function module from the set has at least one real input, at least one complex input, and at least one complex output. A configurable connectivity crossbar multiplexer couples K of the N real tap delay line elements to real inputs of the set non-linear functions and couples K of the M complex tap delay line elements to complex inputs of the set non-linear function modules.
