Complex signal processing algorithms are specified in floating point precision. When their hardware implementation requires fixed point precision, type refinement is needed. The paper presents a methodology and design environment for this quantization process.The method uses independent strategies for fixing MSB and LSB weights of a fixed point signal. It enables short design cycles by combining the strengths of both analytical and simulation based methods.
