A modified approximate squaring algorithm,named as quadratic approximate algorithm,suitable for Viterbi algorithm is presented.The maximum relative error (MRE) and average relative error(ARE) of quadratic approximate algorithm are significantly improved by about 20% and 70%,respectively,comparing with the latest existing approach.Moreover,a 7-bit squaring function based on quadratic approximate algorithm is implemented using 0.6μm CMOS technology,and the timing delay and transistor counts are equivalent with the latest existing approach.
