Novel quantized transform for ternary systems

A nonlinear quantized transform, called the “sign transform”, has been introduced. Besides being unique, and converting binary/ternary data into the ternary spectral domain, forward and inverse sign transforms can be used for converting data between known spectral “sign Haar” and “sign Walsh” domains. Recursive definitions for the calculation of the new transform have been developed. A new class of matrix called a “sign matrix” has been introduced. Some new matrix operators on such a matrix have been defined. The sign matrix is used for efficient generation of spectral coefficients for the sign transform. The computational costs of such a calculation have been provided
