A new approach for block-floating-point arithmetic

چکیده
A new approach for implementing block-floating-point arithmetic is proposed. This approach intends to preserve the least-significantbits (LSBs) to improve signal processing quality. The preservation of LSBs is automatically and perfectly done by hardware. Several simulation results of the proposed block-floating-point implementation have shown improved SNRs over conventional blockfloating-point implementation as expected. For the same number of bits for each data representation in the memory, the SNRs better than floating-point are also observed.

متن کاملComplex Block Floating-Point Format with Box Encoding For Wordlength Reduction in Communication Systems
We propose a new complex block floating-point format to reduce implementation complexity. The new format achieves wordlength reduction by sharing an exponent across the block of samples, and uses box encoding for the shared exponent to reduce quantization error. Arithmetic operations are performed on blocks of samples at time, which can also reduce implementation complexity. For a case study of...
