In order to solve complex algorithm that is difficult to achieve real-time processing of Multiband image fusion within large amount of data, a real-time image fusion system based on FPGA and multi-DSP is designed. Five-band image acquisition, image registration, image fusion and display output can be done within the system which uses FPGA as the main processor and the other three DSP as an algo...

In this paper, a new X band Metamaterial (MTM) based ferrite phase shifter is presented. The phase shifter is excited by circular polarized wave base on combination of TE10 and TE01 modes in a square waveguide. In order to synthesize negative refractive index metamaterial (NIM), negative permeability of ferrite slabs in extraordinary mode is mixed with the negative permitivity of printed period...

Our project implements a software-defined radio (SDR) in a Nios® II processor. A software-defined radio is a radio that provides software control of a variety of modulation and demodulation techniques, wide-band or narrow-band operation, communications security functions (such as hopping), and waveform requirements of current and evolving standards over a broad frequency range. In this project,...

A multi-wavelength tunable fiber laser based on the use of an Opto-VLSI processor in conjunction with different optical amplifiers is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The Opto-VLSI processor can simultaneously select any part of the gain spectrum from each optical amplifier into its associated fiber ring, leading to a multiport tunable fiber laser source. We experimentally demonstrate ...

An efficient algorithm and its corresponding VLSI architecture for the critical-band transform (CBT) are developed to approximate the critical-band filtering of the human ear. The CBT consists of a constant-bandwidth transform in the lower frequency range and a Brown constant-Q transform (CQT) in the higher frequency range. The corresponding VLSI architecture is proposed to achieve significant ...

Four-band and single-band noise-excited vocoders were used in acoustic simulations to investigate spectral and temporal cues to melodic pitch in the output of a cochlear implant speech processor. Noise carriers were modulated by amplitude envelopes extracted by half-wave rectification and low-pass filtering at 32 or 400 Hz. The four-band, but not the single-band processors, may preserve spectra...

The Cadence Tensilica ConnX DSP family based on the Xtensa® customizable processor is specifically designed for wireless communication modem (PHY layer 1) systems. Cadence has worked closely with customers and software PHY companies that create wireless communication algorithms to drive product development. The Xtensa customizable processor gives modem developers a powerful starting point for s...

abstract obtaining reliable precipitation observations is important for hydrological simulations and weather forecasting. radar data can provide insight in the spatial variation of precipitation and can also detect large areas of rain and estimate rainfall rates. weather radar systems nearly always operate in s-, c- or x-band. since x-band systems require smaller antennas than those at c- or s-...

Edge computing is becoming increasingly popular in artificial intelligence (AI) application development due to the benefits of local execution. One widely used approach overcome hardware limitations edge heterogeneous computing, which combines a general-purpose processor with domain-specific AI processor. However, this can be inefficient communication overhead resulting from complex protocol. T...
