Abstract: Popular window technique such as Hamming, Hanning, Blackman, Blackman-Harris and flat top windows are an obvious choice before fast-Fourier-transform (FFT) in the domain of signal processing, communication system and image processing to minimise the undesirable phenomenon, i.e., spectral leakage and picket fence effect arise due to direct truncation by rectangular window. As the window characteristics depends upon the type of the function and length of window used, hence, this is necessary to choose a particular window function and window length depending upon the applications. In other hand, real-time implementation of window function demands efficient and flexible very-large-scale-integration (VLSI) architecture. Hence, this paper presents a new hardware efficient coordinate-rotation-digital-computer (CORDIC)-based VLSI architecture which is capable of reconfigurability to choose a window function among aforesaid popular window functions and window length ranging from 8 to 32 K (2¹⁵), depending upon the application. Further, this proposed architecture is prototyped on FPGA for real-time validation and implementation results have been highlighted along with error analysis.
