A new look is taken at maximum-likelihood sequence estimation in the presence of intersymbol interference. A uniform receiver structure for linear carrier-modulated data-transmission systems is derived which for decision making uses a modified version of the Viterbi algorithm. The algorithm operates directly on .the output signal of a complex matched filter and, in contrast to the original algo...

A CMOS switched-current adaptive filter architecture is presented. It is basically a finite impulse response (FIR) transversal filter adapted by using the Least-Mean-Square (LMS) adaptation algorithm. The design is based on delay and multiply-accumulator blocks. The implemented system can be switched to work either as an adaptive filter or as an FIR programmable filter. The adaptation signal ca...

This paper presents the design of a bandpass filter using directional coupler. The concept of transerval filters is applied to design of microwave filters. The directional coupler is used as a transversal filtering element. This is achieved by loading the coupled ports of the filter with open-circuited stubs. The dependence of filter characteristics on the stub lengths and impedances is demonst...

Surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) filters have been generally accepted as the best available choice for timing recovery in repeatered transoceanic fiber transmission systems operating in the range of 300 Mbit/s as well as in other digital transmission systems operating from approximately 0.1 to 1 or 2 Gbit/s. The SAW tqhnology is ready and reliable, filter sue is consistent with the severe space limi...

This work presents the complete synthesis procedure and circuit transformations needed to go from characteristic polynomials transversal network formed by electroacoustic resonators. filter topology allows possibility achieve any response in spite of limited coupling. is crucial for obtaining very wideband filters with arbitrary positions transmission zeros. Additional reveal flexibility such c...
