Customized Floating Point Algorithm for the Ranging System

This In this work a new algorithm for the system in which space i.e. size is main concern is proposed. Using this algorithm we can achieve desired accuracy and preciseness in range calculation of a system, even when power is a big concern i.e. altimeter or other range equipment. For the verification of algorithm it is implemented in experimental setup with FPGA in altimeter range equipment. The range for the same has been also verified using virtual GUIs. The range verification using the designed algorithm has been verified for smaller to large scale variations and found appropriate for calibrated and measured range. The algorithm has been implemented using VHDL code in Modelsim/ISIM simulator. Results of proposed algorithm are compared with the existed architecture and reduction in chip area and delay has been observed.
