The design of an optimized near-perfect reconstruction (NPR) type trans-multiplexer has been proposed. Cosine modulation has been used to design the synthesis and analysis sections of the trans-multiplexer. The design of transmultiplexer was reduced to design of single low-pass prototype FIR filter which is designed using variable window function (Kaiser, Cosh and DolphChebyshev). An unconstrai...

The superconducting band-pass filter has small insertion loss and excellent out-of-band rejection properties. It has been put to practical use in a number of applications. However, in order to expand its range of application, a tuning technique that can restore the filter characteristics is needed. We propose an automatic tuning system using a trimming library and checked the feasibility of the...

Many biological processes are rhythmic and proper timing is increasingly appreciated as being critical for development and maintenance of physiological functions. To understand how temporal modulation of an input signal influences downstream responses, we employ microfluidic pulsatile stimulation of a G-protein coupled receptor, the muscarinic M3 receptor, in single cells with simultaneous real...

The paper presents a new voltage-mode universal filter using a differential voltage current conveyor transconductance amplifier (DVCCTA). It has three inputs and single output. The proposed circuit can simultaneously realize low-pass, band-pass, and high pass, band reject and all pass filter functions without changing the circuit topology and passive elements. The circuit exhibits a good freque...

This paper presents an optimal design of linear phase digital low pass finite impulse response (FIR) filter using Novel Particle Swarm Optimization (NPSO). NPSO is an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) that proposes a new definition for the velocity vector and swarm updating and hence the solution quality is improved. The inertia weight has been modified in the PSO to enhance its search...

In this paper, two new electronically tunable filter configurations are proposed. The proposed filters operate current-mode (CM), voltage-mode (VM), transimpedance-mode (TIM) and transadmittance-mode (TAM). The first configuration realizes second-order VM band-pass and TAM high-pass filter characteristics from the same configuration. The second one realizes second-order TIM band-pass and CM low...

An ultra-compact surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) narrow band-pass filter based on a slot cavity is proposed and numerically investigated. Attributed to the coupled resonances in the cavity, the filter demonstrates pass-band selection capability. Also, by varying the positions of output waveguides, the filter shows the spectrally splitting function. Moreover, the combination of the adjustments...

A current differencing transconductance amplifier (CDTA)-based multiple-input single-output (MISO) currentmode universal filter and a quadrature oscillator (QO) are presented in this paper. The same circuit is used in the filter and oscillator, which only consists of 2 CDTAs and 2 capacitors. The universal filter can realize low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, band-stop, and all-pass biquad filter ...
