An architecture is presented for front-end processing in a wideband array system which samples real signals. Such a system may be encountered in cellular telephony, radar, or low SNR digital communications receivers. The subbanding of data enables system data rate reduction, and creates a narrowband condition for adaptive processing within the subbands. The front-end performs passband filtering, equalization, subband decomposition and adaptive beamforming. The subbanding operation is efficiently implemented using a prototype lowpass finite impulse response (FIR) filter, decomposed into polyphase form, combined with a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) block and a bank of modulating postmultipliers. If the system acquires real inputs, a single FFT may be used to operate on two channels, but a channel separation network is then required for recovery of individual channel data. A sequence of steps is described based on data transformation techniques that enables a maximally efficient implementation of the processing stages and eliminates the need for channel separation. Operation count is reduced, and several layers of processing are eliminated.

In this paper we propose an efficient, low power algorithm and its co-designed VLSI architecture for fractional-pel motion estimation (FME) in H.264/AVC. Our fractional-pel motion estimator uses a simplified FIR filter for half-pel interpolation. Usage of this filter reduces the required number of computations and the memory size and bandwidth for half-pel interpolation. Our simulations compare our algorithm with the state-of-the-art, in terms of rate-distortion performance and computational complexity. Our VLSI architecture is prototyped on a Field Programmable System on Chip (FPSoC), comprising a Virtex-ii Pro FPGA and an embedded PowerPC processor. Our results show that our algorithm on average has better rate-distortion performance, compared to previous state-of-the-art FME algorithms, while its losses compared to FME in H.264/AVC, are insignificant. Our prototyped architecture is more hardware-efficient than previous FPGA-based architectures, in terms of power consumption, throughput, area and memory utilization. We also show that its performance in terms of transistor count, throughput and power consumption, are comparable to that of state-of-the-art ASIC implementations.

The book shows how the various paradigms of computational intelligence, employed either singly or in combination, can produce an effective structure for obtaining often vital information from ECG signals. The text is self-contained, addressing concepts, methodology, algorithms, and case studies and applications, providing the reader with the necessary background augmented with step-by-step explanation of the more advanced concepts. It is structured in three parts: Part I covers the fundamental ideas of computational intelligence together with the relevant principles of data acquisition, morphology and use in diagnosis; Part ii deals with techniques and models of computational intelligence that are suitable for signalprocessing; andPart iiI details ECG system-diagnostic interpretation and knowledge acquisition architectures. Illustrative material includes: brief numerical experiments; detailed schemes, exercises and more advanced problems.

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for computing a singular value decomposition of a matrix product. We show that our algorithm is numerically desirable in that all relevant residual elements will be numerically small. Our algorithm can be extended to a product of a larger number of upper triangular matrices.

An iterative solution is given for solving deblurring problems having nonnegativity constraints through the use of methods motivated by tomographic imaging. After briefly reviewing three versions of tomographic-imaging problems, the paper indicates how methods that have proven to be powerful for the third version, weighted-integral tomography, can be applied to the more general deblurring problem when nonnegativity constraints are present.

Vector rotation is the key operation employed extensively in many digital signalprocessing applications. In this paper, we introduce a new design concept called Angle Quantization (AQ). It can be used as a design index for vector rotational operation, where the rotational angle is known in advance. Based on the AQ process, we establish a unified design framework for cost-effective low-latency rotational algorithms and architectures. Several existing works, such as conventional CORDIC, AR-CORDIC, MVR-CORDIC, and EEAS-based CORDIC, can be fitted into the design framework, forming a Vector Rotational CORDIC Family. Based on the new design framework, we can realize high-speed / low-complexity rotational VLSI circuits, whereas without degrading the precision performance in fixed-point implementations.

We use time-frequency distributions to define local stationarity of a random process. We argue that local stationarity is achieved when the Wigner spectrum is approximately factorable. We show that when that is the case the autocorrelation function is the one considered by Silverman in 1957. Other time-frequency represenations are also considered.

In this paper we consider cyclostationary signalprocessing techniques implemented via acousto-optics (AO). Cyclic processing methods are reviewed and motivated, including the cyclic correlation and the cyclic spectrum. We show how a 1D AO spectrum analyzer can be used to detect the presence, and estimate the value, of cycle frequencies. The cyclic correlation can then be computed at cycle frequencies of interest using a 1D time-integrating correlator. Next we consider the problem of computing the (2D) cyclic correlation for all cycle frequencies and lags simultaneously. This is accomplished via an AO triple-product processor, configured in a manner similar to that used for ambiguity function generation. The cyclic spectrum can be obtained in a post-processing step by Fourier transforming the cyclic correlation in one dimension. We then consider higher order extensions of the cyclic correlation and show how a 2D slice of the 3D cyclic triple-correlation can be computed using an AO four-product processor.
