This paper deals with the influence of metal cover planes close to SMD filter structures. The low-pass structures are used for EMC purpose and work in a frequency range of 100 kHz to 4 GHZ. It will be shown by measurement and simulation that a close cover plane changes the filter behavior significantly in dependency of the filter component used. For low and high impedance filter structures diff...

The so-called 'Reichardt detector' can successfully account for many properties of fly motion vision. In its simplest form, the signals derived from neighboring image locations become multiplied after a low-pass filter has delayed one of them. This operation is done twice in a mirror-symmetrical form and the resulting output signals become finally subtracted. As predicted by this model, fly neu...

Ground telescopes enable low-cost tracking and characterization of meter-class space objects. Since a telescope may be tasked to observe multiple fields of the sky, the time between observations for each object may vary from several seconds to tens of minutes. Long propagation times with nonlinear dynamics are challenging for traditional filtering methods such as the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF...

A new approach to the non-expansive two band decomposition of finite length signals is introduced. The technique is based on the time-varying perfect reconstruction filter banks concept. In this approach the main analysis filter bank is instantaneously switched, at the signal boundaries, to a shorter filter bank: the D1 or Haar filter bank. The technique can be applied to all types of two band ...

Although it is widely known that high-pass filters can reduce the amplitude of slow ERP components, these filters can also introduce artifactual peaks that lead to incorrect conclusions. To demonstrate this and provide evidence about optimal filter settings, we recorded ERPs in a typical language processing paradigm involving syntactic and semantic violations. Unfiltered results showed standard...

J. S. Mao S. C. Chan K. L. Ho The University of Hong Kong Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Pokfulam Road Hong Kong E-mail: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract. A new method for designing two-channel causal stable IIR PR filter banks and wavelet bases is proposed. It is based on the structure previously proposed by Phoong et al. (1995). Such a filter b...

Gaussian filter has been used extensively in signal image processing for many years. Gaussian or Gaussian derivative filtering is in several ways optimal for applications requiring low-pass filters or running averages. In this paper, a highly efficient noise removing technique based on a modified dynamic Gaussian filter is introduced. Called smooth filter, the Gaussian filter is known to be mor...

In the last two decades, current-mode (CM) circuits have received more attention. These types of circuits offer many advantages such as wider bandwidth, bigger dynamic range, better linearity and more IC suitability when compared with voltage mode (VM) topologies [1, 2]. In addition to this, electronic tunability is also one of the other important issues in electronic design since it allows us ...

Underwater images usually suffer from degraded visibility. Light attenuates and scatters in water resulting in low contrast and haziness in the scenes. Therefore, the main problems to be dealt with in underwater environment are poor contrast, non-uniform lighting, haziness and blurring. Hence, in order to study underwater images, it becomes utmost important to extract the invisible or unclear e...

One of the most important tasks in design and manufacturing of integrated circuits is the testing phase. Distinguishing between faulty and fault free ICs is a difficult task Therefore, simulations are being done for different circuits to identify fault free and faulty circuits. The circuits include analog circuits, digital circuits &mixed signal circuits. Analog circuits like Low pass filter, H...
