Fiddling With the Digital TV Tuner: Recent Adjustments to a Poor Policy

A Digital Guitar Tuner

The objective of this paper is to understand the critical parameters that need to be addressed while designing a guitar tuner. The focus of the design lies in developing a suitable algorithm to accurately detect the fundamental frequency of a plucked guitar string from its frequency spectrum. A user-friendly graphical interface is developed using Matlab to allow any user to easily tune his guit...

CMOS on-chip active RF tracking filter for digital TV tuner ICs

A full frequency band active RF tracking filter design for a digital TV tuner is implemented for the first time. By combined control of the Gm and C values in the biquad of the Gm-C filter, the proposed tracking bandpass filter satisfies full frequency band tuning while maintaining narrow bandwidth. The Gm cell of the tracking filter is based on a dynamic source degenerated differential pair wi...

Fiddling with PageRank

This paper deals with the various changes that can be made to the basic PageRank model. We document the recent findings and add a few new contributions. These contributions concern (1) the sensitivity of the PageRank vector, (2) another method of forcing the Markov chain to be irreducible, and (3) a proof of the full spectrum of the PageRank matrix.
