Industrial process control is an untapped market for field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Programs used for industrial process control are traditionally written in a graphical language called relay ladder logic, and implemented on programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The mapping of ladder logic onto typical FPGAs is a lengthy process, and results are hard to verib. We propose an FPGA archi...

Any Band-Pass filter may be converted into a tunable filter with a single tuning parameter through the use of a new Tunable Heterodyne Band-Pass Filter concept in which the frequency of the heterodyne signal is adjusted thereby translating the entire filter transfer function in frequency. If the fixed filter is selected to be a narrow-band band-pass filter, the new Tunable Heterodyne Band-Pass ...
