%0 Journal Article %T Hardware Implementation of the Huffman Encoder for Data Compression Using Altera DE2 Board %A Dipalee Madhukar Kate %J International Journal of Advances in Engineering Sciences %D 2012 %I RG Education Society %X This work will aim to describe hardware implementations of static and dynamic Huffman encoders written in VHDL.The flexibility of the design allows for hardware-based implementations using FPGAs. The proposed method will have the following properties: (1) high compression for test responses is expected because Huffman coding is well-known as a minimum block coding, (2) zero-aliasing compression can be achieved.(3) It would also reduce transmission time, storage space, translation table space and encoding times %K VHDL %K FPGA %U http://rgjournals.com/index.php/ijse/article/view/277
