annihilation or reduction of each kind of noise blended in correct data signals is a field that has attracted many researchers. it is a fact that fuzzy theory presents full capability in this field. fuzzy filters are often strong in smoothing corrupted signals, whereas they have simple structures. in this paper, a new powerful yet simple fuzzy procedure is introduced for sharpness reduction in ...

The matrix converter instability can cause a substantial distortion in the input currents and voltages which leads to the malfunction of the converter. This paper deals with the effects of input filter type, grid inductance, voltage fed to the modulation algorithm and the synchronous rotating digital filter time constant on the stability and performance of the matrix converter. The studies are ...

As reducing impulse noise in a digital image is a very active research area in image processing, this paper proposes a novel algorithm for digital image impulsive noise detection and reduction based on adaptive nonlinear techniques which seems to be a boom in digital image restoration process. The main objective of this algorithm is to consider a particular digital image as input and make the p...

An active filter with a 50 Ω buffer suitable as an anti-alias filter to drive a highly linear ADC is implemented in 0.13 μm SiGe BiCMOS. This 6th-order Chebyshev filter has a 3 dB cutoff frequency of 28.3 MHz and achieves 36.5 dBm OIP3. Nonlinear digital equalization further improves OIP3 to 43.6 dBm. Measurements show 92 dB of rejection at the stopband and a gain of 49 dB. The measured in-band...

There are two types of digital filters including Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) and Finite Impulse Response (FIR). IIR filters attract more attention as they can decrease the filter order significantly compared to FIR filters. Owing to multi-modal error surface, simple powerful optimization techniques should be utilized in designing IIR digital filters to avoid local minimum. Imperialist compe...

Recent work has led to highly efficient physics-based computational models of wave propagation in strings, acoustic tubes, membranes, plates, and rooms using the digital waveguide filter, the 2-D digital waveguide mesh, and the 3-D tetrahedral digital waveguide mesh, all of which are suitable for real-time musical synthesis applications. A simple first-order nonlinear filter structure derived f...

background the first commercial system for digital radiography was introduced in 1987, and it has evolved a great deal since then. currently, it is possible to enhance images in digital radiography. objectives the aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of image enhancement in direct digital radiography as it relates to interproximal carries assessment. conclusions using these ...

An adaptive filter is essentially a digital filter with self-adjusting characteristic. It adapts, automatically, to changes in its input signals. The contamination of a signal of interest by other unwanted, often lager, signals or noise is a problem often encountered in many applications. Typical applications where adaptive filters are appropriate are the following: Digital communication using ...
