TL;DR: A novel processor for the implementation of multiplierless FFT's in VLSI with the capability of achieving a 40 MHz throughput rate for a 1024-point FFT using 20 processing IC's is presented.
Abstract: This paper presents a novel processor for the implementation of multiplierless FFT's in VLSI. The arithmetic scheme is specially tailored for the simple binary coefficients used for these FFT's, which make multiplication trivial. (The class of coefficients dealt with are those that have a maximum of 2 nonzero digits; i.e., sum of 2 integers powers of 2 with each power in the range 0-4.) A single chip processing element for a 4-point DFT (for a radix 4 FFT) with an execution time of 400 ns using a 10 MHz clock has been realized. The chip has an estimated maximum gate count of 11 000 and pin count of 85. It has the capability of achieving a 40 MHz throughput rate for a 1024-point FFT using 20 processing IC's. The use of the 4-point chip to implement higher radix algorithms and various other issues are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the status of a monolithically integrated transceiver chip was reported, which consists of a TJS laser, a photodetector, an amplifier, a 4:1 multiplexer, a 1:4 demultiplexer and a gate-array.
Abstract: We report on the status of a monolithically integrated transceiver chip being developed in our lab. The functional components of this chip consist of a TJS laser, a photodetector, an amplifier, a 4:1 multiplexer, a 1:4 demultiplexer, and a gate-array. The total gate count is -500, and the chip is designed for operation at 1.0 Gbps. The receiver section of the chip has been tested with optical inputs at a 1.0-GHz clock frequency. Fabrication of the entire transceiver chip is in progress.
