                Application 10/107,262                                                                           
                                               BACKGROUND                                                        
                       The invention relates to a method for providing sine and cosine value                     
                pairs in response to a sine and cosine instruction.                                              
                       Claim 1 is reproduced below.                                                              
                             1.  A method comprising:                                                            
                             decoding a sine and cosine instruction;                                             
                             generating two addresses to access a sine cosine table (SCT);                       
                             generating a plurality of quadrant bits;                                            
                             reading a sine and cosine value pair from the SCT using said                        
                       two addresses;                                                                            
                             adjusting a sign of each value of said sine and cosine value pair                   
                       using said plurality of quadrant bits, if necessary;                                      
                             incrementing a phase value, if said phase value is to be                            
                       incremented;                                                                              
                             executing said sine and cosine instruction using said sine and                      
                       cosine value pair; and                                                                    
                             outputting at least one result.                                                     

                                              THE REFERENCE
