The Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) core is a fundamental building block for implementing the SC-FDMA uplink transmission scheme selected for 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless systems. The DFT core is designed to meet the transform point size requirements for 3GPP LTE systems. The DFT core provides highly optimized implementation along with system level fixed point C-models, and further reduces implementation time for 3GPP LTE systems.
