Abstract :

The MATLAB M language provides constructs for the simple representation of functions, and has been used extensively for algorithm development and verification in communication and imaging systems design. The M language processes entire arrays simultaneously, and it is expected that design based on M can be implemented faster and with the same or higher quality as compared with design based on other languages. This paper presents a design methodology using M-based design flow for signal processing filters. The results of this design methodology demonstrate the high efficiency of the M-based design flow as compared with conventional functional modeling and manual coding using a hardware description language.

Keywords: M language; algorithm development; verification; filter design; signal processing.
