The document presents a novel method for designing an area-efficient, short bit-width two's complement multiplier using a radix-4 modified Booth encoding technique, aimed at improving the performance of digital signal processors by reducing the height of the partial product array without increasing delay. It details the implementation of this technique with carry save adders on a Cadence platform in 180 nm technology, showing improvements in both area and delay. The proposed approach demonstrates significant advantages in speed, area occupation, and power consumption compared to traditional methods.
