SCALING OF NUMBERS IN RESIDUE ARITHMETIC WITH THE FLEXIBLE SELECTION OF SCALING FACTOR

A scaling technique of numbers in residue arithmetic with the flexible selection of the scaling factor is presented. The required scaling factor can be selected from the set of moduli products of the Residue Number System (RNS) base. By permutation of moduli of the number system base it is possible to create many auxiliary Mixed-Radix Systems (MRS). They serve as the intermediate systems in the scaling process. All MRS’s are associated with the given RNS with respect to the base, but they have different sets of weights. For the scaling factor value resulting from the requirements of the given signal processing algorithm, the suitable MRS can be chosen that allows to obtain the scaling result in most simple manner. 1
