This document presents a proposed area efficient 9/7 wavelet coefficient based 2-D discrete wavelet transform (DWT) architecture using a modified carry select adder (MCSLA) technique. The proposed architecture aims to minimize circuit area and computation time compared to previous approaches. It uses a multiplier-less implementation with adders and shift registers. Simulation results show the proposed 2-D DWT design using the MCSLA and multiplier-delay addition approaches achieves better efficiency and performance than prior designs. The architecture provides an important technique for applications like image and video coding.
