A review of low cost multiplier using CORDIC subsystem

CORDIC subsystem is used in multiplication of complex numbers which is used in various applications such as radar, sonar etc. Including serial multiplier this paper attempts to analyses the cordic based complex multiplier having two main architectures, one is recursive and other is pipelined. This multiplication of a complex number (containing real and imaginary parts) to a number in rectangular form results the product containing the real and imaginary parts.
