METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING RANDOM NUMBERS BASED ON FILTER COEFFICIENTS OF AN ADAPTIVE FILTER

摘要

A method and random number generator are provided for generating random numbers. Under the method, a filter coefficient value that is used by a filter to filter an input signal is set and then compared to a default value for the filter coefficient. At least one bit of the random number is then set based on the comparison between the filter coefficient value and the default value.
