One of the most promising methods of constructing bandpass
filters without inductors is the RC digital filter. It is simply a number
of parallel RC branches which are sequentially switched between
the source and the load. If the source signal is at the same frequency
as the switching rate of...
Linear phase variable filters that are obtained with a frequency transformation of the form cos(ω) = P(cos(W)) were analyzed, where P is a finite degree polynomial, ω is the prototype frequency and W is the transformed filter frequency. A new transformation of third order is proposed. The new variable filter...
With the increased demand for complex digital signal processing systems,
real-time signal processing requires higher throughput systems. In the past, the
throughput has been increased by increasing the clock rates, but
synchronization can become increasingly more difficult. Recently there has
been renewed interest in designing asynchronous digital systems. In an...
Most of the existing research on mathematical morphology is
restricted to the deterministic case. This thesis addresses the void
in the results on the stochastic properties of morphological filters.
The primary results include analysis of the stochastic
properties of morphological operations, such as dilation, erosion,
closing and opening. Two unbiased...
Power quality has become an important concern to both electric utilities and
end users due to the increased use of non-linear loads in modem power systems
over the past decade. Nonlinear loads inject harmonics into the power system and
thus may lead to poor power quality and lower power factor....
Morphological filters have shown good performance in various image processing applications. Furthermore, their algorithms are easy to implement in special architectures, with the exception that linear filtering cannot be implemented in many of these cases. In this study, a new architecture and corresponding algorithm, capable of realizing linear shiftinvariant filters,...
Continues-Time (CT) Delta-Sigma (ΔΣ) Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) have one important constrain, namely the excess loop delay. Most previous excess lop delay compensation methods need to know the exact value of the excess loop delay in advance. However, the value of the excess loop delay is a uniformly distribution random variable....
Digitally-programmable filters have been an ongoing research topic for a number of years. The first such filters were FIR transversal filters using Charge-Coupled Devices (CCD's) and IIR recursive filters using switched-capacitor (SC) techniques. Although both techniques achieve excellent results, they require non-standard and/or additional IC fabrication steps. Low substrate doping...
Due to advances in high-density low-cost VLSI and communication technology,
digital filtering and signal processing are being widely used for real-time signal processing
applications. Given the filter specification, choosing the best filter structure for a given
application is not a trivial task. The choice of a particular filter structure depends...
