Description

Block floating-point (BFP) implementation provides an innovative method of floating-point emulation. This application report implements the BFP algorithm for the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm on a Texas Instruments (TI) TMS320C54x DSP by taking advantage of the exponent encoder and normalization units on the DSP. The BFP algorithm as it applies to the FFT allows fractional signal gain adj
