A compact digital gamma-tone filter processor

A compact digital gamma-tone filter processor

Area consumption is one of the most important design constrains in the development of compact digital systems. Several authors have proposed making compact Cochlear Implant processors using Gamma-tone filter banks. These model aspects of the cochlea spectral filtering. A good area-efficient design of the Gamma-tone Filter Bank could reduce the amount of circuitry allowing patients to wear these...

Daniel Miner Detection and Analysis of Stopping Muons Using a Compact Digital Pulse Processor

Transducer Preamp Filter Signal Processor

This is a design oriented engineering class; it is more relevant to understand circuit’s operation and limitations that finding exact mathematical expressions or exact numerical solutions. Precise results can always be obtained through proper circuit simulations, and through a piece of Matlab/Maple code; however none of these programs can’t design a single circuit for you; especially if you are...

Digital Signal Processor Trends

During the past decade digital signal processors (DSPs) have hit critical mass for high-volume applications (Figure 1). Today, the entire digital wireless industry operates with DSP-enabled handsets and base stations. The mass-storage industry depends on DSPs to produce hard-disk drives and digital versatile disc players. Ever-increasing numbers of digital subscriber line and cable modems, line...

A Compact Triple-Mode Bandpass HMSIW Filter

A simple method for designing a triple-mode bandpass filter is presented in this paper. Triple-mode is achieved by using half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) cavity. Three perturbation metal vias were introduced for shifting resonant modes. The resonant frequencies of these modes can be adjusted by the location and the diameter of perturbation vias properly. In order to improve the ...
