Abstract-The high computational cost of the motion estimation module in the new HEVC standard raises the need for efficient hardware architectures that can meet the real-time processing constraint. In addition, targeting HD and UHD resolutions increases the motion estimation processing cost beyond the capabilities of the currently existing architectures. This paper presents a highly parallel sum of absolute difference (SAD) architecture for motion estimation in HEVC encoder. The proposed architecture has 64 PUs operating in parallel to calculate the SAD values of the prediction blocks. It processes block sizes from 4x4 up to 64x64. The proposed architecture has been prototyped, simulated and synthesized on Xilinx Virtix-7 XC7VX550T FPGA. At 458 MHz clock frequency, the proposed architecture processes 30 2K resolution fps with ±20 pixels search range. The prototyped architecture utilizes 7% of the LUTs and 5% of the slice registers in Xilinx Virtex-7 XC7VX550T FPGA.

Recently, the best antenna structures have considered microstrip patch antenna due to their simple construction, low cost, minimum weight, and the fact that they can be effortlessly integrated with circuits. To achieve multiband operation an antenna is designed with an etching rectangle and circle slot on the surface of the patch to achieve multi-band frequency capabilities in mid-band 5G applications. Inset-fed structure type of fed of all antenna printed and fabricated on the brow of the Rogers RT5880 substrate. Then, prototype structures of the microstrip patch antenna were acquired during the design process until achieving the desired antennas. The antenna_1 achieved tri-band characteristics covering the WiMAX band including 2.51 -2.55 GHz, WLAN, and S-band including 3.80 -3.87 GHz and C-and X-band including 6.19 -6.60 GHz. The antenna_2 gives dual-band characteristics covering C-band and X-band including (6.72 -7.92 GHz) with a peak under -45 dB suitable for mid-band 5G applications. High impedance bandwidth increases between (70 MHz-1.25 GHz) for wireless applications. The proposed microstrip patch antennas were simulated using CST MWS-2015 and were experimentally tested to verify the fundamental characteristics of the proposed design, it offers multiple-band operation with high stable gain and good directional radiation characteristics results.
