Abstract :
Logarithmic number system (LNS) is used in those signal processing applications where multiplication becomes a bottleneck. In LNS, multiplications and divisions are computed as additions and subtractions respectively. However to implement these additions and subtractions in LNS require large memory to store logarithmic and antilog values of numbers. This paper proposes possible techniques for memory reduction in LNS
