FPGAs and DSPs Make a Complete Signal Processing Solution

The best solution for military signal processing applications is a hybrid architecture that takes advantage of the strengths of both FPGAs and DSPs.

Jeffry Milrod, President

In technical publications over the past year, the question of whether FPGAs will replace DSPs in various applications, including signal processing, has been posed ad nauseam. Although this may be an interesting topic of discussion, the truth remains that DSPs and FPGAs are, in fact, very different technologies with different strengths and weaknesses. FPGAs can be very good at solving welldefined, high-speed, repetitive problems. DSPs are better at implementing highly complex algorithms as well as applications that involve some sort of decisionmaking, adaptive processing or algorithms
that may change frequently.

Real-world, embedded military signal processing applications often require both of these types of processing and would benefit from having access to both technologies. Therefore, the optimal solution for a general-purpose signal processing board should include both FPGAs and DSPs, thus creating the need for developing hybrid signal processing architectures that leverage the strengths of both.
