The problem of computing linear convolution is a very important one because with linear convolution we can mechanize digital filtering. The linear convolution of two N-point sequences can be computed by the cyclic convolution of the following 2N-point sequences. The original sequence padded with N zero’s each. The cyclic convolution of two N-point sequences requires multiplications and additions for its computation. A very efficient way of computing cyclic convolution of two sequences is by using the Polynomial Residue Number System (PRNS) technique. Using this technique the cyclic convolution of two N-point sequences can be computed using only N multiplications instead …
