15.3.24. Twiddle Generator (TwiddleGenC) Deprecated

The TwiddleGenC block generates the appropriate complex coefficients that multiplies the streaming data in a radix-22 streaming FFT or iFFT architecture.

Feed at the input by a modulo N counter (where N is an integer power of two) and the appropriate complex sequence generates at the output.

To parameterize this block, set the Counter bit width parameter with log2(N) and enter the width in bits and fixed-point scaling of the twiddle factors. A cosine or sine wave has a range of [-1:1], therefore you must provide at least two integer bits, and as many fractional bits as are appropriate. Starting with a twiddle bit width of 16 bits (enter 16 as the twiddle bit width), and a scaling of 2–14 (enter 14 as the Twiddle scaling exponent). The resulting fixed-point type is sfix16_en14 (2.14 fixed-point format).
