Description

Complex Matrix multiplication is only defined if the number of columns of the first matrix equals the number of rows of the second matrix. Multiplying an M x N matrix with an N x P matrix results in an M x P matrix.

When matrix size checking is enabled, the functions check:

• that the inner dimensions of pSrcA and pSrcB are equal;
• that the size of the output matrix equals the outer dimensions of pSrcA and pSrcB.

Conditions for optimum performance

Input, output and state buffers should be aligned by 32-bit

Scaling and Overflow Behavior

The function is implemented using an internal 64-bit accumulator. The inputs to the multiplications are in 1.15 format and multiplications yield a 2.30 result. The 2.30 intermediate results are accumulated in a 64-bit accumulator in 34.30 format. This approach provides 33 guard bits and there is no risk of overflow. The 34.30 result is then truncated to 34.15 format by discarding the low 15 bits and then saturated to 1.15 format.

arm_status arm_mat_cmplx_mult_q31	(	const arm_matrix_instance_q31 *	pSrcA,
		const arm_matrix_instance_q31 *	pSrcB,
		arm_matrix_instance_q31 *	pDst
	)

Q31, complex, matrix multiplication.

Parameters

[in]	pSrcA	points to first input complex matrix structure
[in]	pSrcB	points to second input complex matrix structure
[out]	pDst	points to output complex matrix structure

Returns

execution status

• ARM_MATH_SUCCESS : Operation successful
• ARM_MATH_SIZE_MISMATCH : Matrix size check failed

Scaling and Overflow Behavior

The function is implemented using an internal 64-bit accumulator. The accumulator has a 2.62 format and maintains full precision of the intermediate multiplication results but provides only a single guard bit. There is no saturation on intermediate additions. Thus, if the accumulator overflows it wraps around and distorts the result. The input signals should be scaled down to avoid intermediate overflows. The input is thus scaled down by log2(numColsA) bits to avoid overflows, as a total of numColsA additions are performed internally. The 2.62 accumulator is right shifted by 31 bits and saturated to 1.31 format to yield the final result.
