Evolutionary programming (EP) has been used for the adaptation (optimization) of IIR filters. In a previous study [1], the rate of optimization using EP was shown to be dependent on the structure of the filter used during realization. Furthermore, this dependency changes with the filter order. In this paper, the reasons for such a dependence are investigated. Gradient-based algorithms are also ...

A simple tuning scheme that shifts the crossover frequency of the start-up IIR half-band filter pair to the desired location has been introduced recently. In this paper, the approximation of the tuning scheme is derived in a manner that makes this scheme suitable for fixedpoint arithmetic. The effects of the approximation error to the frequency responses and to the complementary properties for ...

A procedure to approximate non-causal adaptive IIR filtering is described. Such structures could be useful, for instance, in the equalization of non-minimum phase communication channels. The procedure is based on backward calculations within blocks of samples and we show that for adaptive filtering the overlap-save method is more suitable than the overlap-add method. Moreover, a temporary freez...

Simple IIR or FIR filters have been widely used in isolated or connected word recognition tasks to filter the time sequence of speech spectral parameters, since, despite their simplicity, they significantly improve recognition performance. Those filters, when applied to continuous speech recognition, where phoneme-sized modelling units are used, induce spectral transition spreading and a cross-...

Filter sharpening is a technique for designing a higher order filter using several identical low-order filters with the same passband and stopband edge frequencies but with smaller passband ripple and larger stopband attenuation. The technique had been applied to linear phase finite impulse response (FIR) filters only. In this paper the method is applied on the elliptic infinite impulse respons...

Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter model emulates the Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) in a wireless communication channel. An equalizer, typically an Infinite (IIR) filter, behaves as inverse to FIR remove effects of ISI. IIR filters are generally avoided due tractability issues, and with adaptive signal processing algorithm minimize error ISI, is deployed at receiver. However, observed quick...

In recent years, genetic algorithms began to be used in many disciplines such as pattern recognition, robotics, biology, and medicine to name just a few. These optimization algorithms are based on Darwins principle of natural selection which happens to be a slow process and, as a result, these algorithms tend to require a large amount of computation. However, they offer certain advantages as we...

Polyphase IIR structures have recently proven themselves very attractive for very high performance filters that can be designed using very few coefficients. This, combined with their low sensitivity to coefficient quantization in comparison to standard FIR and IIR structures, makes them very applicable for very fast filtering when implemented in fixed-point arithmetic. However, although the mat...

Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and Digital Signal Processors are generally used for implementing digital filters. Now days in the advances in technology leads to use of field programmable Gate Array (FPGA) for the implementation of Digital Filters. The Present paper deals with Design and implementation of digital IIR Butterworth filter using Xilinx System Generator. The Quanti...

The study presents three-port reflecting cell model for analyzing SAW structures employing strong electrode reflections. Basic objective is to analytically approximate all the p-matrix elements for a SAW structure in terms of reflection, transduction, and transmission strengths. This model is an approximate one and it does not take into account the effects of bulk wave excitation, diffraction, ...
