In this paper, a new approach for weighted least square (WLS) design of FIR filters is presented, in which an iterative procedure is developed for the inversion of the matrix involved in the design. By imposing a mild constraint on the update factor of the weighting function, the inverse of a matrix is expanded as a convergent power series. By exploiting the properties of some of the matrices involved in the design, a modified version of the series that converges rapidly is then proposed to evaluate the inverse in each iteration. It is shown that due to the fast convergence of the power series, one has to evaluate only the first two or three terms of the series after a few initial iterations, implying that the conventional operation for matrix inversion is simplified significantly.

A simple model for predicting the RF bandwidth and conversion loss of a sampler from a given sampling switch conductance function is presented. The model is valid for any conductance function and for any relation between sampling pulse width and sampler time constant. As an example, the model is here applied to the case with a linearly rising/falling sampling switch conductance function and differences between the sample-and-hold and track-and-hold modes of operation are studied.

A popular method for generating truly random numbers based on a natural phenomenon is the electronic amplification and sampling of a thermal or shot noise signal. As ail electronicsystems are influenced by finite bandwidth, 1/f noise and other non-random influences, perfect randomness cannot be preserved by any practical system. This paper develops a method to quantify the impact of common circuit anomalies on the randomness of sequences produced by a noise amplifier system. Numerical simulation results are presented which verify the theoretical derivations.

This paper concerns the design of FIR filters using quantized coefficients belonging to a sum of signed power-of-two terms (SPT) domain. Unlike other SPT filter design approaches, we added a global constraint that a priori fixes the total number of shift registers; thus each coefficient can be represented using different precision. The difficult FIR filter design optimization task, is solved by a specific Tabu Search (TS) method. Several experimental results and comparisons with other well known approaches, demonstrate the effectiveness of this filter architecture and the proposed optimization algorithm.

Vector quantization systems are usually based on digital implementation of the core operations. In this paper, video compression systems exploiting an analog implementation of vector quantization are presented. The main advantages of analog design are exploited, obtaining notable performances when compared to other solutions found in the literature. The circuit features a very modular, completely parallel internal architecture. Many circuits can be easily connected to obtain a larger codebook size and a larger vector dimension. Synthesis of codebooks is also described.

The capabilities of the conceptual link between threshold gates and sorting networks are explored by implementing a (8/spl times/8)-multiplier which uses a sorter as the main building block. Traditional disadvantages of binary sorters such as their hardware intensive nature are avoided by using /spl nu/MOS circuits which allows us to improve previous results for multipliers based on a similar architecture.

This paper proposes a novel method for designing two-channel and M-channel causal stable IIR PR filter banks using cosine modulation. In particular, we show that the PR condition of the two-channel IIR filter banks is very similar to the two-channel FIR case. Using this formulation, it is relatively simple to satisfy the PR condition and to ensure that the filters are causal stable. Using a similar approach, we propose a new class of M-channel causal stable IIR cosine modulated filter banks. design examples are given to demonstrate the usefulness of proposed approach.

The state-space description of externally linear Class AB dynamical systems is explored. Motivated by recent work in the area of log domain filtering, a definition for a generic Class AB dynamical system is proposed. Following this, a more useful differential state-space formulation is proposed which is intuitively consistent with the nonlinear electroniccircuits that implement Class AB systems. A discussion of static and dynamic constraints which imply Class AB operation, along with a basic theorem, leads to more practical constraints on the state-space formulation which will allow Class AB externally linear behavior of a system. Next, the results are used to explain the operation of several already-existing basic Class AB log domain and exponential state-space filters. Finally, a new generalization to existing Class AB circuit topologies is offered.

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle dictates that a filter cannot have simultaneous localization in the spatial domain and the frequency domain: there is a trade-off between spatial and frequency localizations. In this paper the author considers a localization measure metric that has a balance between spatial and frequency localizations. The metric is called the Heisenberg Balanced-Uncertainty metric and was proposed by Monro et al. (1997). The author presents an efficient technique for designing a class of biorthogonal wavelet filters which have a prescribed regularity (number of zeros at z=-1) and are optimized with respect to the Balanced-Uncertainty metric.

In this paper, we propose a novel self-tuning pulse width modulator based on master-slave architecture for a Class D amplifier for hearing aid applications. The design methodology employs very simple tuning circuits and can be easily fabricated in a low cost digital CMOS process. The PWM circuit consumes 24 /spl mu/A at 2.5 V (10 /spl mu/A at 1.3 V). This design is thus suitable for micropower low voltage applications including hearing instruments. Measurements on the prototype IC shows that the error at zero-input 50% duty cycle is 1.5% and the total harmonic distortion is 3.3% at near full modulation index.
