In this paper, a novel technique for the design of two-channel Quadrature Mirror Filter (QMF) banks with linear phase in frequency domain is presented. To satisfy the exact reconstruction condition of the filter bank, low-pass prototype filter response in pass-band, transition band and stop band is optimized using unconstrained indirect update optimization method. The objective function is form...

Neuroimaging studies have found distinct patterns of response to different categories of scenes. However, the relative importance of low-level image properties in generating these response patterns is not fully understood. To address this issue, we directly manipulated the low level properties of scenes in a way that preserved the ability to perceive the category. We then measured the effect of...

This paper presents the methodology for the design of Low pass FIR digital filter using hybrid Differential Evolution (DE) method. It is an evolutionary algorithm that exhibits the features of both the basic DE and HookeJeeves exploratory move to attain the optimal solution. The basic DE and exploratory move have the capability to exploit and explore the search space to design the optimal filte...

In this paper, a new bipolar junction transistor (BJT) based configuration for providing first-order resistorless current-mode (CM) all-pass, low-pass and high-pass filter responses from the same configuration is suggested. The proposed circuit called as a first-order universal filter possesses some important advantages such as consisting of a few BJTs and a grounded capacitor, consuming very l...

An ultra-wide band band-pass filter using novel spiral stub-loaded triple-mode resonator (SSLTMR) is presented. New spiral stub loaded resonator is analyzed with odd and even modes analysis for this class of BPF, achieving higher band wide and size reduction. In order to have a good response characterized, two (SSL-TMRs) and two quarter wavelength digital coupled lines are used. This new design...

This chapter is devoted to the realization of some novel active circuits by using transconductance amplifiers. The transconductance amplifier can be realized by the widely used device Op-Amp and specially designed operational transconductance amplifier (OTA). By using single Op-Amp in one circuit itself we can get two filter responses. The first circuit realizes first order low pass – high pass...

The conventional method for filtering force plate data, low-pass filtering, does not always give accurate results when applied to force data from a custom-made, instrumented treadmill. Therefore, this study compares low-pass filtered data to the same data passed through a wavelet filter. We collected data with the treadmill running. However these include motor noise with ground reaction force a...

A universal biquadratic filter using single universal voltage conveyor (UVC), two resistors and two capacitors is presented in this paper. The proposed structure has three inputs and one output and can realize all the five standard biquadratic filters: low-pass (LP), high-pass (HP), band-pass (BP), band-reject (BR) and all-pass (AP) from the same circuit configuration. The presented universal f...

Abstract—This paper presents a voltage mode universal biquadratic filter with one input and five output terminals, realizing all the standard filter functions that are high pass, band pass, low pass, notch and all pass, without changing the circuit topology. The proposed circuit employs three plus-type differential difference current conveyors (DDCCs), three grounded resistors and two grounded ...
