Abstract

A new method for finding digital realizations of discretetime transfer functions by fixed-point arithmetic is presented. The obtained realizations attain very small roundoff-noise intensity. This intensity is significantly smaller than the intensities that have been achieved so far. The method applies many 0–1 coefficients in the realization. It therefore requires a small number of multiplications and additions, and it is significantly faster than many other realization methods. A detailed comparison is made between the new method and other existing methods for digital realization. Two different cases are investigated: a Butterworth filtering realization and the realization of an LQG optimal controller. The superiority of the new method over other methods is clearly demonstrated in both cases.
