Abstract - In this paper we present a Residue Number System (RNS) implementation of digital filters to be used for space applications. The RNS is particularly attractive because of the reduced power dissipation with respect to filters realized in the traditional binary representation. Furthermore, the reduced circuit complexity allows the implementation of programmable structures, in terms of filter coefficients and dynamic range, a feature appealing for remote operations on systems onboard satellites.
