dc.description.abstract	<P> A simple and inexpensive pseudo-random number generator has been designed and built using linear feedback shift registers to generate rectangular and gaussian distributed numbers. The device has been interfaced to a Nova computer to provide a high speed source of random numbers. The two distributions have been checked with the following tests: (i) Frequency test (ii) Autocorrelation test and (iii) d 2-test. Results of each test have been compared with the expected theoretical values. Finally, a comparison of the generating speed has been made between this new generator and the existing old software generators. This 28-bit generator is especially desirable in random simulation and Monte Carlo application if randomness, speed and cost are the main consideration in the design. </P>	en_US
