This paper presents a novel microstrip low-pass filter with good performance. A complete detailed theoretical analysis for the proposed filter is given using equivalent circuit models. The proposed filter applying multiple cascaded modified radial stubs resonators provides a sharp cut off frequency response that has a 185 dB/GHz roll off rate. Also, U-shaped attenuators provide a wide stop-band...

Introduction:Low-pass filters eliminate noise, and accordingly improve the quality of filtered back-projection (FBP) in the reconstruction of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images. This study aimed at selection of an optimum low-pass filter for FBP reconstruction of SPECT images of small structures. Material and Methods:Sp...

An ultra-wide band band-pass filter using novel spiral stub-loaded triple-mode resonator (SSLTMR) is presented. New spiral stub loaded resonator is analyzed with odd and even modes analysis for this class of BPF, achieving higher band wide and size reduction. In order to have a good response characterized, two (SSL-TMRs) and two quarter wavelength digital coupled lines are used. This new design...

A new multi-layer substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) structure is developed to design dual-band evanescent-mode band-pass filters (BPFs). Two independent series LC circuits are implemented by incorporating metallic irises in the different layers of the structure. The combination of the metallic irises with capacitive-plates is embedded inside the SIW to independently excite two evane...

Many experimental studies demonstrate a match between the transfer function of sensory neurons and the statistics of natural stimuli. However, neurons might not be able to adapt to any given stimulus statistics due to very basic constraints. The high-pass nature of spike-frequency adaptation (Benda and Herz, 2003) emphasizes fast stimulus components over slow stimuli (Benda et al., 2005). The c...

In this paper, a new voltage controlled first order all-pass filter is presented. The proposed circuit employs a single differential voltage dual-X second generation current conveyor (DV-DXCCII) and a grounded capacitor only. The proposed all-pass filter provides both inverting and non inverting voltage-mode outputs from the same configuration simultaneously without any matching condition. Non-...

In this paper, a novel technique for the design of two-channel Quadrature Mirror Filter (QMF) banks with linear phase in frequency domain is presented. To satisfy the exact reconstruction condition of the filter bank, low-pass prototype filter response in pass-band, transition band and stop band is optimized using unconstrained indirect update optimization method. The objective function is form...

This paper describes a low-voltage and low-power Gm-C low pass filter. The low-pass filter that precedes the A/D converter is called anti-aliasing filter. In the analog signal processing, the anti-aliasing filter would be one of the most important circuits in the transceiver architecture. This filter is located in the analog front-end circuits of DAB receivers. The 4 – order butterworth Gm-C lo...
