The CORDIC algorithm is a well-known iterative method for the computation of vector rotation. For applications that require forward rotation (or vector rotation) only, the extended elementary angle set (EEAS) Scheme provides a relaxed approach to speed up the operation of the CORDIC algorithm. When determining the parameters of EEAS-based CORDIC algorithm, two optimization problems are encountered. In the previous work, the greedy algorithm is suggested to solve these optimization problems. However, for an application that requires high-precision rotation operation, the results generated by the greedy algorithm may not be applicable. We propose a novel searching algorithm to overcome the aforementioned problem, called the trellis-based searching (TBS) algorithm. Compared with the greedy algorithm used in the conventional EEAS-based CORDIC algorithm, the proposed TBS algorithm yields apparent performance improvement. Moreover, the derivation of the error boundary as well as computer simulations are provided to support our arguments.
