Design of Compact Parallel-Connected Chained Function Filters

Seed function combination selection for chained function filters

An algorithm is presented for seed function combination selection for chained function filters on the basis of pre-defined manufacturing limitations. To this end, and for the first time, combinatorial analysis methods have been applied to computer-aided filter design routines. A fundamental Monte-Carlo margin has been discovered that represents an upper-bound on the worst-case pass-band return-...

Design of discrete-coefficient FIR filters on loosely connected parallel machines

This paper presents a new branch-and-bound mixed-integer linear programming-based algorithm for designing discrete-coefficient finite-impulse response (FIR) filters using a cluster of workstations as the computation platform. The discrete coefficient space considered in this paper is the sum of signed power-of-two space, but the technique is also applicable to other discrete coefficient spaces....

Design of the Compact Parallel-coupled Lines Wideband Bandpass Filters Using Image Parameter Method

In this paper, the design of compact and high performance parallel coupled line wideband bandpass filter using image parameter method are proposed. The filter mainly comprising one-stage parallel coupled line and two open stubs are designed and implemented on commercial RT/Duroid 5880 substrate. The equivalent circuit of the proposed structure is initially derived by using the image parameter m...

Attribute-Space Connected Filters

Connected Viscous Filters

This paper deals with the notion of connectivity in viscous lattices. In particular, a new family of morphological connected filters, called connected viscous filters is proposed. Connected viscous filters are completely determined by two criteria: size parameter and connectivity. The connection of these filters is defined on viscous lattices in such a way that they verify several properties of...
