In this paper, the design of a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter based on
the residue number system (RNS) is presented. We chose to implement it in the
(RNS), because the RNS offers high speed and low power dissipation. This
architecture is based on the single RNS multiplier-accumulator (MAC) unit.
The three moduli set {2n+1,2n,2n-1}, which avoids 2n+1 modulus, is used to
design FIR filter. A numerical example illustrates the principles of residue
encoding, residue arithmetic, and residue decoding for FIR filters.
