Abstract : Abstract- This paper describes the design and implementation in VHDL language of a special purpose processor for the calculation of trigonometric functions, based on CORDIC (Coordinate rotation in digital computer) algorithm. CORDIC algorithm implementation has the primary advantage that it is far more economical compared to DSP algorithms in terms of area and power consumption. This algorithm’s implementation has the edge over conventional DSP methods since it requires less complex hardware and due to its flexibility. Since CORDIC architecture provides considerable area optimization, it is ideal for use in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). This property of the CORDIC architecture can be utilized for reducing the number of components in the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) part of a processor since we are replacing the multiplier part of the FFT with the CORDIC processor. The implementation of this FFT part in an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system will eventually result in the reduction of on chip area and hence will lead to more minimization. Thus this paper explores the idea of implementation of a minimized and efficient OFDM receive transmit system in FPGA utilizing the advantages provided by the CORDIC algorithm implementation in the FFT module. Thus we can develop a FPGA system with minimum utilization of CLBs. Modelsim 6.5b is being used for simulation purpose and for synthesis, Xilinx 14.5 is being used. The CORDIC part is implemented in VHDL using SPARTAN3E XC3S500E.
