MDCT IP Core Generator with Architectural Model Simulation

Compression of digital audio signals has become increasingly more important with the advent of fast and inexpensive microprocessors and digital signal processors. Several compression schemes were developed and well established. Most of them adopt MDCT/IMDCT. This paper presents a new MDCT IP core generator. The software tool generates several MDCT architectures with adjustable parameters for FPGA-based design as well as computation precision and area estimations
