Branch-and-bound algorithm is applied to the design of sparse FIR filters having intentionally zeroed tap positions. It is shown that this algorithm coupled with a suitable optimization technique for filter design can lead to an optimal sparse FIR filter satisfying given specifications. Design examples demonstrate that the proposed method requires less computation than the conventional optimization such as the subset selection method.

Automatic cloud classification of satellite imagery can be of great help to meteorological studies. A neural network-based cloud classification system is developed and introduced. Several image transformation schemes such as wavelet transform (WT) and singular value decomposition (SVD) are used to extract the salient textural feature of the data and is then compared with those of the well-known gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) approach. Two different neural network paradigms namely the probability neural network (PNN) and the unsupervised Kohonen (1990) self-organized feature map (SOM) are chosen and examined. The performance of the proposed cloud classification system is benchmarked on the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) 8 data set and promising results have been achieved.

A Gray-Markel notch filter is used to track and significantly attenuate a narrow-band interference whose frequency drifts slowly with time. The novel feature is the use of a bandpass filter to isolate the range of frequencies over which the adaptive hardware responds and the use of a simple FIR filter to carry out the adaptation with the more complex IIR Gray-Markel notch filter slaved to the simple FIR filter. This method results in the ability to track a slow moving narrowband interference over a band of frequencies and attenuate the signal due to the interference sufficiently to allow high precision signalprocessing on the remaining data with little phase distortion to the data. Furthermore, an adequate implementation of the adaptive Gray-Markel notch filter can be achieved with a modest 24-bit integer hardware implementation.

A fully programmable switched-current IIR filter using switched-current delay-multiplies units is described. The characteristics of the filter are fully programmable by simply changing the ratios of the coefficient transistors. To reduce the effect of non-ideal characteristics of MOS transistors, a high-performance differential switched-current memory cell is used as a basic building block. To reduce the chip area and maintain the required accuracy of the coefficients, an array consisting of three different sizes of transistors is designed instead of using a unit transistor array as coefficient transistors. A prototype second-order switched-current IIR filter array which consists of six second-order switched-current IIR filters has been fabricated with the standard 1.2 /spl mu/m CMOS process technology. Hard wiring technique is used for programming the filters. The test results show that the characteristics of the filters satisfy the design requirements.

This paper describes a simulator for the Shiva multiprocessor system and the simulator construction methodology (SCM) used in its creation. The SCM, based on the active functional unit (AFU) construct, is a modern SCM which is flexible, accurate, fast, easy to use, capable of dynamic reconfigurability at run-time, and most of all simple and capable of quick simulator construction. The AFU SCM is capable of all these things through the use of object-oriented software techniques. The Shiva simulator constructed using the AFU SCM is program-driven and capable of micro and macro architectural simulation.

The space-time radar problem is well suited to the application of techniques that take advantage of the low-rank property of the space-time covariance matrix. In particular, it was shown that when the space-time covariance matrix is estimated from a dataset with limited support, reduced-rank methods outperform full-rank space-time adaptive processing (STAP). We study the application of several reduced-rank methods to the STAP problem and demonstrate their utility by simulations in terms of the output signal-to-noise ratio and detection probability. It is shown that reduced-rank processing has two opposite effects on the performance: increased statistical stability which tends to improve performance, and introduction of a bias which lowers the signal-to-noise ratio. Several reduced-rank methods are analyzed and compared for both cases of known and unknown covariance matrix. While the best performance is obtained using transforms based on the eigendecomposition (data dependent), the loss incurred by the application of fixed transforms (such as the discrete cosine transform) is relatively small. The main advantage of fixed transforms is the availability of efficient computational procedures for their implementation. These findings suggest that reduced-rank methods could facilitate the development of practical, real-time STAP technology.

It is increasingly important to structure signalprocessing algorithms and systems to allow for trading off between the accuracy of results and the utilization of resources in their implementation. In any particular context, there are typically a variety of heuristic approaches to managing these tradeoffs. One of the objectives of this paper is to suggest that there is the potential for developing a more formal approach, including utilizing current research in computer Science on Approximate processing and one of its central concepts, Incremental Refinement. Toward this end, we first summarize a number of ideas and approaches to approximate processing as currently being formulated in the computer science community. We then present four examples of signalprocessing algorithms/systems that are structured with these goals in mind. These examples may be viewed as partial inroads toward the ultimate objective of developing, within the context of signalprocessing design and implementation, a more general and rigorous framework for utilizing and expanding upon approximate processing concepts and methodologies.
