Primitive polynomials are classified based on a number of different criteria and the evaluation of the performances of the polynomials of different classes is undertaken. Based on the statistics of "good" polynomials for different classes, a selection is suggested for the primitive polynomi­als to reduce aliasing. Finally this selection is tested by the simulation of a number of benchmark circuits.101 pagesAvailable to the World Wide WebThesis
