Abstract
Nowadays the computation of trigonometric functions has great significance in various scientific areas, such as robotics, signal and image processing, 3-D graphics, and communication systems. But usually, it is performed with software routine or with the architecture of the processor using floating-point instructions. This may present long latency and slow down the program execution by spending the majority of the time in long trigonometric computation. Improvement in this can be achieved by using a dedicated unit for the calculation of trigonometric identities. Thus, this thesis aims to implement this computation with dedicated hardware to have high performances in terms of frequency, clock cycles, and instructions using the algorithm known as COordinate Rotation DIgital Computer (CORDIC).
It is an iterative algorithm with which it is possible to compute trigonometric functions such as sine, cosine, hyperbolic sine, hyperbolic cosine, exponential and logarithmic functions, and multiplication and division operations
