Abstract

This paper describes power optimization techniques applied to a reconfigurable digital finite impulse response (FIR) filter used in a Universal Mobile Telephone Service (UMTS) mobile terminal. Various methods of optimization for implementation were combined to achieve low cost in terms of power consumption. Each optimization method is described in detail and is applied to the reconfigurable filter. The optimization methods have achieved a 78.8% reduction in complexity for the multipliers in the FIR structure. A comparison of synthesized RTL models of the original and the optimized architectures resulted in a 27% reduction in look-up tables when targeted for the Xilinx Virtex II Pro field programmable gate array (FPGA). An automated method for transformation of coefficient multipliers into bit-shifts is also presented
