CORDIC (COordinate Rotation DIgital Computer) is an iterative algorithm for the calculation of the rotation of a two-dimensional vector, in linear, circular and hyperbolic coordinate systems, using only add and shift operations. Its current application are in the field of digital signal processing, image processing, filtering, matrix algebra, etc.. It consists of two operating modes, the rotation mode (RM) and the vectoring mode (VM). In the rotation mode a vector (X, Y) is rotated by an angle ฮธ to obtain a new vector (Xโ , Yโ). In the vectoring mode, the length R and the angle ฮฑ towards the x-axis of a vector (X, Y) are computed. For this purpose, the vector is rotated towards the x-axis so that the y-component approaches to zero. The sum of all angle rotations is equal to the value of ฮฑ, while the value of the x-component corresponds to the length R of the vector (X, Y).
