<p>An apparatus for orthogonally transforming a digital information signal is disclosed to provide an orthogonally-transformed signal The digital information signal represents a physical quantity in a first domain and the orthogonally transformed signal represents the physical quantity in a second domain, orthogonal to the first domain. The apparatus comprises orthogonal transform means (103-106) for orthogonally transforming the digital information signal in blocks, the orthogonal transform means (103-106) including plural, serially-arranged, processing stages (103-105), each processing stage (103-105) receiving a signal block from an immediately preceding processing stage for processing, a first one of the plural processing stages receiving each block of the digital information signal as a signal block for processing. The apparatus further comprises determining means (107-109) for determining a scale down amount for the signal block received by one of the plural processing stages (103-105) and scale down means (120-130) for scaling down the signal block received by the one of the plural processing stages by the scale down amount. <IMAGE></p> |
