Modified MLBF based architecture for 1-D DWT

Abstract

This work proposes an architecture for fast computation of 1-D Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). Existing MAC loop based filter (MLBF) is modified and a poly-phase structure for 1-D DWT is proposed. Proposed structure improves the throughput by 1.5x while using almost double the hardware as that of the existing structure. 1-D DWT using existing MLBF structure and proposed structure are simulated using ModelSim and synthesized using Xilinx ISE 14.2 on Virtex-6 XC6VCX240T-2FF784 target device. It is observed that the proposed architecture can be operated at a maximum frequency of 163.59MHz. The simulation results obtained from ModelSim is compared with MatLab R2010a output and found to be accurate.
