We examine reduction of phase jitter by use of in-line Butterworth filters in soliton systems in the context of differential phase-shift-keying coding. We also demonstrate numerically that the use of a Butterworth filter in a return-to-zero differential phase-shift-keying system can reduce continuum background radiation.

background: we investigated whether the lungheart ratio parameter (lhr) can be used to identify the optimum cut off frequency for butterworth filter in 99mtc myocardial spect imaging. materials and methods: this study involved a cardiac phantom system consisting of cardiac insert in which 1.10 cm cold defect was inserted into its myocardium wall and filled with 4.0 μci/ml (0.148 mbq/ml) 99mtc c...

In three experiments we measured reaction times (RTs) and error rates in identifying the global structure of spatially filtered stimuli whose spatial-frequency content was selected by means of three types of 2-D isotropic filters (Butterworth of order 2, Butterworth of order 10, and a filters with total or partial Gaussian spectral profile). In each experiment, low-pass (LP), bandpass (BP), and...

Total variation denoising filtering is proposed as an alternative to the Butterworth filter, which is widely used in the reconstruction of SPECT medical images. Its advantages lie in the preservation of the image edges while the noise is removed, as opposed to the blurring that characterizes Butterworth filtered images. However, results show that total variation filtering application to SPECT m...

in the present study, a comprehensive and systematic strategy was described to evaluate the performance of several three-way calibration methods on a bio-analytical problem. parallel factor analysis (parafac), alternating trilinear decomposition (atld), self-weighted alternating trilinear decomposition (swatld), alternating penalty trilinear decomposition (aptld) and unfolded partial least squa...

Various spatial filtering techniques have been developed to process digital Landsat data. This research aimed to filter the same digital data within the frequency domain, and involved the use of the Butterworth lowpass and highpass filters. The lowpass filter is used primarily for the reduction of noise whereas the highpass filter is used primarily for edge enhancement. The analysis of these tw...
