We propose an approach to design of an algebraic signature analyzer that can be used for mixed-signal systems testing.The analyzer\ndoes not contain carry propagating circuitry, which improves its performance as well as fault tolerance. The common design\ntechnique of a signature analyzer for mixed-signal systems is based on the rules of an arithmetic finite field.The application of this\ntechnique to the systems with an arbitrary radix is a challenging task and the devices designed possess high hardware complexity.\nThe proposed technique is simple and applicable to systems of any size and radix. The hardware complexity is low. The technique\ncan also be used in arithmetic/algebraic coding and cryptography.
