QR Matrix Decomposition Reference Design
from Altera Corporation
Please contact your local Altera sales representative for a copy of this reference design.
Overview
The QR matrix decomposition (QRD) reference design implements QR matrix decomposition, sometimes referred to as orthogonal matrix triangularization. The basic operation is the decomposition of a matrix (A) into an orthogonal matrix (Q) and an upper triangular matrix (R). QRD is useful for solving least squares’ problems and simultaneous equations that are increasingly important for applications such as multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), digital pre-distortion (DPD), channel estimation, and joint detection.
The QRD reference design uses the well-known systolic array and CORDIC to perform the Givens rotation algorithm, which is well suited for FPGAs. Using a common method of back substitution, a full QRD-RLS algorithm can be easily realized in Altera® devices, providing an optimized and cost-effective hardware implementation.
