Design Methodology of Signal Processing Algorithms

Design Methodology of Signal Processing Algorithms

The Christian Doppler Pilot Laboratory for Design Methodology of Signal Processing Algorithms (2002 – 2009), founded in July 2002, has had its first successful evaluation and as a result became a full Christian Doppler Laboratory. Also with July 2004, ARC Seibersdorf became a new industrial partner, so that altogether six researchers (including one scholarship) are now working in the field of design methodology. Our research covers the design on the algorithmic and architectural levels as well as rapid prototyping in analog and digital domains. By our so-called translatorial tools we are able to integrate consistently prior non-compatible tools. This allows us to transfer automatically designs of highest complexity as required for a UMTS cellular phone chip or an ADSL modem chip from Infineon, in a few seconds from one description level to another, a task which previously occupied several persons for a couple of months.
