Just curious, how much logic does each DDC (cordic, CIC, decimator) require? I'm trying to estimate how many would fit in an XC3S400. I think that currently the code uses the "free cordic multiply" with a cordic for each channel. Could we instead take the sin and cos off of a single cordic and u

Hi, In the process of demodulating the video sigal from the tv signal we receive, we have been interpolating from 8 MS/s by a factor of 2 to 16 MS/s. However, just demodulating the audio alone takes 97% of our computer's usage, and as soon as we interpolate to 16 MS/s the usage peaks at 100% and
