Algebraic Integer Quantization and Conversion
Abstract
The algebraic-integer number representation, in which the signal sample is represented by a set of (typically four to eight) small integers, combines with residue number system (RNS) processing to produce processors composed of simple parallel channels. The analog samples must first be converted into the algebraic-integer representation, and the final algebraic-integer result converted back to an analog or digital form. These are quantization problems. Second, the algebraic-integer representation must be converted into and out of two levels of RNS parallelism. These are RNS conversion problems. This paper provides practical solutions, which can be implemented with current technology, to these quantization and conversion problems. Keywords: Digital signal processing.
