This paper presents a low-complexity multi-mode fast Fourier transform (FFT) processor for Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial 2 (DVB-T2) systems. DVB-T2 operations need 1K/2K/4K/8K/16K/32K-point multiple mode FFT processors. The proposed architecture employs pipelined shared-memory architecture in which radix-2/22/23/24 FFT algorithms, multi-path delay commutator (MDC), and a novel data scaling approach are exploited. Based on this architecture, a novel low-cost data scaling unit is proposed to increase area efficiency, and an elaborate memory configuration scheme is designed to make single-port SRAM without degrading throughput rate. Also, new scheduling method of twiddle factor is proposed to reduce the area. The SQNR performance of 32K-point FFT mode is about 45.3 dB at 11-bit internal word length for 256QAM modulation. The proposed FFT processor has a lower hardware complexity and memory size compared to conventional FFT processors.
