In this paper bandpass filter has been designed and simulated using different windows techniques. Blackman, Hamming and Kaiser Windows techniques are used for design of bandpass filters using matlabs. The performances of all designs have been compared in terms of sidelobe attenuation and mainlobe width. The simulated result shows that Blackman window gives maximum mainlobe width as compared to ...

The dynamical equations describing the evolution of a self-gravitating fluid can be rewritten in the form of a Schrödinger equation coupled to a Poisson equation determining the gravitational potential. This approach has a number of interesting features, many of which were pointed out in a seminal paper by Widrow & Kaiser (1993). In particular we show that this approach yields an elegant reform...

An observer looking out the side window of a rapidly moving automobile, with a neutral density filter over one eye, sees the world as dwarfed and moving by slowly (Enright, 1970). Enright argued that increased disparity from the Pulfrich effect causes near objects to appear nearer still, so that size constancy requires they be small, and speed constancy that they be moving slowly. However, it i...

We are not only in a new millennium but also a new era. A variety of terms such as the Post-Industrial Era (Huber, 1990), the Information Age (Shapiro et al, 1999), the Third Wave (Hope et al, 1999) or the Knowledge Society (Drucker, 1999) are being used to describe this epoch. However, whichever term one subscribes to, most are agreed that one of the key defining and unifying themes of this pe...
