We compared the performance of bandpass filtering methods, the commonly used mathematical morphology operator (MMO) method and the convolution-wavelet method (CNW) on both simulationed and real sEMG data. The CNW showed better performance as compared to bandpass filtering and the MMO particularly for low signal-to-artifact ratios

This paper introduces the concept of frequency-translating, bandpass delta-sigma modulator in continuous-time. The system level design and simulation results of the deltasigma modulator are presented. The DAC jitter performance of the continuous-time, frequency translating bandpass delta-sigma modulator is presented. The DAC jitter performance of the frequency translating modulator and conventi...

A novel fourth-order voltage-mode switched-capacitor bandpass ∆Σ modulator, using direct-charge-transfer pseudo-N-path resonators, is described. This modulator is insensitive to component mismatches and finite opamp bandwidth, and is also less sensitive to finite opamp gain than previous bandpass ∆Σ data converters. It is therefore suitable for high-speed communications applications.

This document describes filter design from the standpoint of cost. Filter design techniques that require the fewest possible op amps and passive components are described. Six types of filters are described—low pass, high pass, narrow bandpass, wide bandpass, notch, and band reject. Table Of

We propose a flat-top bandpass microwave photonic filter (MPF) with flexible tunability of the bandwidth and center frequency based on optical nonlinearities in a Fabry-Pérot semiconductor optical amplifier (FP-SOA). Phase-inverted modulation induced by cross-gain modulation (XGM) and optical spectral broadening induced by self-phase modulation (SPM) are exploited to achieve flat-top and bandwi...

This paper presents a novel on-chip passive bandpass filter for millimeter-wave (MMW) applications that utilizes a pair of electrically-coupled thru-silicon vias (TSV). The presented TSV bandpass filter can be used in MMW applications such as radar, medical imaging, and communication. The TSV bandpass filter uses two TSVs to extend two electrically-coupled conductors into the silicon substrate ...

Auditory neurons in the inferior colliculus (IC) of the pallid bat have highly rate selective responses to downward frequency modulated (FM) sweeps attributable to the spectrotemporal pattern of their echolocation call (a brief FM pulse). Several mechanisms are known to shape FM rate selectivity within the pallid bat IC. Here we explore how two mechanisms, stimulus duration and high-frequency i...

Under conditions of nutrient limitation, Bacillus subtilis cells terminally differentiate into a dormant spore state. Progression to sporulation is controlled by a genetic circuit structured as a phosphorelay embedded in multiple transcriptional feedback loops, and which is used to activate the master regulator Spo0A by phosphorylation. These transcriptional regulatory interactions are “bandpas...

performance of the fiber optic networks with different physical topologies such as point-to-point, bus, ring and star, with respect to requirements as bit rates, topology structure, bit. error rate (ber) and optical component characteristics including optical amplifiers, filters, sources and detectors, are analyzed and simulated. for this purpose, maximum number of supportable nodes and throug...

Abstrac t A digital intermediate frequency (IF) to RF transmitter targeted for 2GHz wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) is presented. The proposed transmitter integrates a 3-level digital IF current-steering cell, an up-conversion mixer with a tuned load and an RF variable gain amplifier (RF VGA) with an embedded semidigital finite impulse response (FIR) reconstruction filter. A 4-or...
