| The hardware design languages associated with modern application specific device design afford designers the flexibility to efficiently create, and reuse, custom building blocks. This promotes the concept of abstracting algorithms from Electrical and Computer Engineering theory to afford their integration in digital design.; This thesis provides examples of two primary blocks suitable for integration within a System on Chip solution. These blocks are used to construct a system discussed in this project, which includes a signal generator and atone detector. The signal generator is formed by ten parallel digital oscillator blocks. The detector portion of the system is an array of a fundamental resonator block.; The topics covered in this thesis include the theoretical background from Digital Signal Processing used for the development of the blocks, the Hardware Description Language implementations of the blocks as well as a comparison of simulation results with expected results. |
