Abstract
A circuit performs complex division and dual complex multiplication. The circuit has a plurality of multipliers. Each of the plurality of multipliers is used in both the complex division and the dual complex multiplications. The circuit also has a plurality of components capable of adding and subtracting. Each adding and subtracting component is used during the complex division and the dual complex multiplication and switches between operation as an adder and a subtractor between performing the complex division and the dual complex multiplication. Preferred potential uses for the circuit are in a receiver of a user equipment or a base station. The circuit is used in a fast Fourier transform (FFT) based channel estimation or a FFT based data detection.
