hi
How can I analyze the spectrum given by the FPGA-based FFT, within the FPGA?
The "analysis" here can be for example to calculate the integral of the spectrum in a given window of frequencies (a sort of lock-in).
I can do it in the host, using a FIFO for the transfer and analyzing the array (of 8132 points) which comes out of the FIFO in the host. But is the same possible in the FPGA? Can I put the output of the FFT into an array and analyze it without leaving the FPGA? Or should I follow a different strategy?
The project requires to calculate the spectrum of an input signal, to analyze it, to feed a PID with the result of this analysys, and to send an output signal from the PID. Therefore speed is important and all should live in the FPGA.
