An Reconfigurable FIR Filter Design on a Partial Reconfiguration Platform

This paper presents a novel partially reconfigurable FIR filter design that employs dynamic partial reconfiguration. Our scope is to implement an autonomously reconfigurable digital signal processing architecture that is tailored for the realization of arbitrary response FIR filters and flexibility allowing dynamically inserting and/or removing the partial modules to implement the partial reconfigurable FIR filters with various taps. This reconfigurable FIR filter design method using Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA shows the configuration time improvement, and flexibility by using the dynamic partial reconfiguration method.
