This work describes a 12b 120MS/s dual-channel SHAfree Nyquist ADC based on a mid-code calibration technique eliminating offset mismatch between channels. The prototype ADC achieves a peak SNDR of 61.1dB and a peak SFDR of 74.7dB for input frequencies up to 60MHz at 120MS/s. Also, the measured DNL and INL are within 0.30LSB and 0.95LSB, respectively. The ADC fabricated in a 0.13 m CMOS process ...

In this paper, we propose a technique of artificial intelligence called adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for canceling maternal electrocardiogram (MECG) in fetal electrocardiogram extraction (FECG).This technique is used to estimate the MECG present in the abdominal signal of a pregnant woman. The FECG is then extracted by subtracting the estimated MECG from the abdominal signal. P...

This article presents and analyzes a technique for reducing the spurious signal content in digital sinusoid synthesis. Spurious-harmonic (spur) reduction is accomplished through dithering both amplitude and phase values prior to word-length reduction. The analytical approach developed for analog quantization is used to produce new bounds on spur performance in these dithered systems. Amplitude ...

We construct a linear filter optimised for detecting dark-matter halos in weak-lensing data. The filter assumes a mean radial profile of the halo shear pattern and modifies that shape by the noise power spectrum. Aiming at separating dark-matter halos from spurious peaks caused by large-scale structure lensing, we model the noise as being composed of weak lensing by large-scale structures and P...

A fuzzy observer based scheme for synchronizing two hyperchaoticoscillators via a scalar transmitted signal for cryptographic application isproposed. The Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model exactly represents chaotic systems.Based on the general fuzzy model, the fuzzy observer of a chaotic system isdesigned on the basis of the n-shift multiple state based key encryption algorithm.The scalar transmitted s...

image denoising by block matching and threedimensionaltransform filtering (bm3d) is a two steps state-ofthe-art algorithm that uses the redundancy of similar blocks innoisy image for removing noise. similar blocks which can havesome overlap are found by a block matching method and groupedto make 3-d blocks for 3-d transform filtering. in this paper wepropose a new block grouping algorithm in th...
