Abstract
Linear interpolators that are both accurate and cost effective to implement in hardware are presented. These interpolators use a multi-bit value approach that permits adders to be used instead of multipliers. The inherent error known in multi-bit value approaches is corrected by using a more accurate approximation for a distance ratio used in interpolation calculations.
