Abstract: The authors introduce a new architecture for the core processor for a V-BLAST detector. This architecture uses only two low complexity CORDIC processors for QR factorisation. The parameterised feature of the controller and address generator blocks provides a scalable architecture for the implementation of QR factorisation for a square matrix of any dimension. The reduced hardware complexity of the processors and its simple parameterised controller are two outstanding features of the architecture, resulting in a more suitable alternative architecture for QR factorisation than triangular systolic arrays. A comprehensive analysis of parameters influencing the hardware implementation and their effects on the error performance of the V-BLAST detector has been presented. The implementation of the proposed architecture on an Altera Stratix FPGA device results in a very small critical path delay. This provides a platform for the fast matrix triangularisation for applications requiring high data rates such as MIMO V-BLAST detectors. The maximum throughput values of up to 367 Mbit/s are reachable using this novel QR-factorisation architecture for the V-BLAST detector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
