In order to improve the performance of homomorphic filtering technique for face images, band pass filter is selected to replace the conventional high pass filter in homomorphic filtering technique. Apart from the noise reduction capability, the band pass filter is specifically designed for face images as it is based on the locations of illumination component in Fourier spectrum. The qualitative...

Filter design specifications can be manifest in all manner of necessity, whether they are high-pass, low-pass, band-pass, or stop-band filters. In addition, the parameters for such filters are defined for a very specific application. A design for a lowpass filter with a pass-band of 2k Hz and a stop-band of 4k will be discussed. The further properties of the filter are to allow for a 48 dB drop...

In this work, we are interesting in the analysis and the design of an ultra wideband (UWB) band pass filter with improved upper stop band performances, using microstrip lines. The design of the UWB band pass filter is based on the use of stepped-impedance low pass filter and high pass filter; whereas the simulation of its frequency response ([S]) is done using MATPAR software and it is based on...

The trans-admittance-mode (TAM) might act as a transforming bridge for voltage-mode to current-mode conversion. In this study a new low voltage operated electronically tunable TAM biquad filter structure realizing all the seven standard filtering functions namely; low-pass (LP), band-pass (BP), high-pass (HP), regular-notch (RN), low-pass-notch (LPN), high-pass-notch (HPN) and all-pass (AP) fro...

In this paper we present the design and fabrication of an RF MEMS tunable band-pass filter. The band-pass filter design uses both distributed transmission lines and RF MEMS capacitances together to replace the lumped elements. The use of RF MEMS variable capacitances gives the flexibility of tuning both the centre frequency and the band-width of the band-pass filter. A prototype of the tunable ...

A new three-input and single-output current-mode biquad filter using one plus-type inverting second-generation current conveyors (ICCIIs), two grounded capacitors and two resistors is presented. This filter can simultaneously realize five generic low-pass, band-pass, high-pass, band-reject and all-pass filtering signals. H-Spice simulations with 0.35μm process are used to validate filter feasib...

* The authors are with the IMTEL Institute, Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro Abstract – This paper presents a new concept of band-pass filters with capacitive coupled resonators applied for realization of a printed filter in L band. The significant size reduction achieved by the original construction allows filter realization at these very low microwave frequencies. The agreement between the pre...

This article proposes an alternative method for designing miniature waveguide filters based on locally resonant metamaterials. Implementation of ultra-small metamaterial (metafilters) using the subwavelength direction mechanism in hollow waveguides loaded with small resonators. In particular, composite pin are used, constructed from a metal tube set pins that spaced over deep distances. such st...
