This paper presents a channel-select filter that employs an active-RC bi-quad structure for TV-tuner application. A design method to optimize the IIP3 of the bi-quad is developed. Multi-band selection and gain adjustment are implemented using switching resistors in the resistor array and capacitors in the capacitor array. Q-factor degradation is compensated by a tuning segmented resistor. A fee...

in recent years, sub-band speech recognition has been found useful in addressing the need for robustness in speech recognition, especially for the speech contaminated by band-limited noise. in sub-band speech recognition, the full band speech is divided into several frequency sub-bands, with the result of the recognition task given by the combination of the sub-band feature vectors or their lik...

This paper addresses voice disorder assessment. It proposes an original back-and-forth methodology involving an automatic classification system as well as knowledge of the human experts (machine learning experts, phoneticians, and pathologists). The goal of this methodology is to bring a better understanding of acoustic phenomena related to dysphonia. The automatic system was validated on a dys...

Timely and nondestructive monitoring of leaf area index (LAI) using remote sensing techniques is crucial for precise and efficient management of crops. In this paper, a new spectral index (SI) for estimating LAI of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is proposed on the basis of field hyperspectral measurements. A simple index based on the empirical relationships between LAIs and SIs of all avai...

A meandered uniplanar compact electromagnetic bandgap structure is proposed. Meandered microstrip lines between adjacent cells are used to increase the equivalent inductance. As a result, the dimension of the proposed EBG structure is more compact and its frequency band-gap is wider than that of the conventional uniplanar EBG structure. Two patch arrays with and without an EBG structure were de...

We investigate the measures of frequency bands of scaling functions and wavelets, and solve an open problem. Furthermore, we give conditions for which the measures of frequency bands of scaling functions are less than 8 3 and the measures of frequency bands of wavelets are less than 4 . We also discuss the densities around the origin and the diameters of frequency bands of scaling functions and...

In order to detect the growth status and predict the yield of the crop, crop growth monitor measuring nitrogen content in the plant is developed based on optical principle. The monitor measures the spectral reflectance of the plant canopy at the 610 nm and 1220 nm wavebands, and then calculates the nitrogen content in the plant with the measured data. The field test was carried out to evaluate ...
