Summary:The paper starts with an overview of distributed arithmetic (DA) and n-dimensional reduced adder graph (RAG-n) multiplierless filter design methods. Since DA designs are table-based and RAG-n designs are adder-based, FPGA synthesis design data are used for a realistic comparison. Benchmark FIR filters (Goodman and Carey, 1977) of length 11 to 63 are compiled. For a wide set of realistic design examples, it will be shown that pipelined RAG-n designs achieve on average a gain of 71% in area, equivalent performance in speed, and a 56% improvement in cost compared with DA-based designs
