Abstract
This paper describes a single unified algorithm for the calculation of elementary functions including multiplication, division, sin, cos, tan, arctan, sinh, cosh, tanh, arctanh, In, exp and square-root The basis for the algorithm is coordinate rotation in a linear, circular, or hyperbolic coordinate system depending on which function is to be calculated The only operations required are shifting, adding, subtracting and the recall of prestored constants The limited domain of convergence of the algorithm is calculated, leading to a discussion of the modifications required to extend the domain for floating point calculations

A Linear Systolic Array for the Adaptive MVDR Beamformer

TL;DR: An efficient algorithm and a linear systolic array are proposed for the adaptive MVDR (Minimum Variance Distortionless Response) beam-former and it is shown that the beamformer output can be computed in a fully pipelined fashion without determining the optimum weight vector.
