Implementation of Adaptive Digital Fir and Reprogrammable Mixed-signal Filters Using Distributed Arithmetic

DEDICATION To my family, my Mom, my Dad, and my sister, for their love, support, and patience ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to thank my family, my Mom, my Dad, and my sister, for their love, support, and patience. Their love means very much to me and inspired me through the challenges of graduate research to this meaningful milestone in my life. I want to tell them that " I love you. I am who and where I am today because of you. Thank you. " I would like to thank and to express my sincere gratitude to my dissertation advisor, Dr. David Anderson, for his endless support and patience. I can truly say he is the right disser-tation advisor for me. Also, I would like to thank my dissertation committee members, Dr. Wolf, for serving on my committee and for their comments and suggestions. Without my dissertation advisor and my committee members, I would still be mindlessly wandering the halls of Georgia Tech. Finally, I would like to thank my lab mates and my social circle here at Georgia Tech for their friendship and support. They are true friends, and made my time at Georgia Tech unforgettable. I will cherish the times that we had together here in Atlanta, and I will miss the camaraderie that we shared. I take comfort in knowing we share this bond of friendship wherever we may go.
