This paper presents an evolutionary design of digital IIR filters using the genetic algorithm (GA) with modified genetic operators and real-valued encoding. Conventional digital IIR filter design methods involve algebraic transformations of the transfer function of an analog low-pass filter (LPF) that satisfies prescribed filter specifications. Other types of frequency-selective digital filters...

Two protocols developed for the Tonal and Speech Materials for Auditory Perceptual Assessment audio compact disc are low- and high-pass filtered versions of the Northwestern University Auditory Test No. 6 (female speaker). Two experiments were performed on subjects with normal hearing to determine the needed filter characteristics of the words. In Experiment I, word-recognition performance was ...

The paper briefly describes the basics of frequency filter design method using synthetic immittance elements with current conveyors. An introduction of the paper explains the advantages and also disadvantages of using this method. Other chapters briefly introduce a design process of simple second order lowpass and high-pass filter. A theory of current conveyors is discussed too, because they ar...

Improvement of Analog-to-Digital Converters testing method that is suitable for testing of high-resolution AD converters (e.g. Σ-∆ or dither-based) or on the contrary ultra high-speed AD converters is presented. The method is based on the histogram test driven by stochastic signal with defined probability density function. By repeating of the test for different settings of band-pass filter that...

An analog active filter can not provide a very sharp cut-off for both higher and lower frequency component, while a digital signal processor (DSP) using digital filter effectively reduces the unwanted higher or lower frequency components within an audio signal. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of non real time and real time digital filter for audio signal. Experimental re...

The conventional method for filtering force plate data, low-pass filtering, does not always give accurate results when applied to force data from a custom-made, instrumented treadmill. Therefore, this study compares low-pass filtered data to the same data passed through a wavelet filter. We collected data with the treadmill running. However these include motor noise with ground reaction force a...
