Abstract
This paper designs and implements an FFT hardware accelerator and host computer system for bridge structural health monitoring.The hardware adopts a sequential 4-base FFT architecture with single-butterfly multiplexing to perform computations.This approach ensures functional integrity while effectively reducing resource overhead and power consumption,enabling configurable FFT sizes of 4,16,64,and 256 points.To enable data interaction and visualization,a host computer platform was further developed for parameter configuration, operational control,and real-time display and analysis of frequency-domain results.The hardware accelerator was verified under CMOS 180nm process conditions and maintains stable operation at 100MHz.Applied to bridge vibration signal processing,this system accurately extracts primary frequency components, meeting the comprehensive requirements of real-time performance,precision, and energy efficiency for bridge structural health monitoring.
