12 years agoFFT MegaCore Function Output is not as expected
Hi,
I have generated one FFT MegaCore Function in my FPGA design and simulated it using test bench. And the output is compared with the expected values; but they are not same. the parameters i selected are: Device: StratixII Transform length: 1024 Data input precision: 16 Twiddle precision: 14 and I/O Data Flow is: streaming Here I am giving real input in the test bench as integers ranging from 0 to 65536 (16 bits wide in binary) and imaginary input is 0. And the final output is calculated as:output = 10*log10(sqrt(out_real^2 + out_imag^2))
where 'out_real' & 'out_imag' are calculated as:
out_real = source_real * 2^(-exp)
out_imag = source_imag * 2^(-exp)
Can anybody please help me or let me know if I am wrong in my calculations.

your data vector in above post is not 1024 samples but 1159 samples and it lacks continuity at wrap-up.
you must enter a known 1024 frame in both your fft and your reference model. your power equation should not include sqrt unles you use 20*log... regarding scaling by exp you can find out that from your fft doc or once you get correct signal you can find out the right scaling.
