In this paper the problem of the frequency estimation of a sinusoid embedded in white noise is considered. The approach used herein is the minimization of the sample variance of the output of constrained notch filters fed by the noisy sinusoid. In particular, this paper focuses on closed-form expressions of the frequency estimate, which can be obtained using notch filters having an all-zeros FI...

This paper presents a wavelet-based approach for the design of the finite impulse response (FIR) notch filter with controlled null width. The M-band P-regular wavelet filters are employed to constitute the null space of the derivative constraint matrix. Taking advantage of the vanishing moment property of the wavelet filters, the proposed method controls the null width of the notch filter by ad...

A complex−allpass−based multiple notch IIR filter is proposed to suppress Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) that affect VDSL systems. A notch filter realization based on complex allpass cascaded second−order sections is presented and evaluated in this paper. Two different algorithms, using the Recursive Prediction Error (RPE) method and an alternative (similar to the Steiglitz−McBride) method,...

Noise removal techniques play a vital role in the performance of electrocardiographic (ECG) signal processing systems. ECG signals can be corrupted by various kinds of noise such as baseline wander noise, electromyographic interference, and powerline interference. One of the significant challenges in ECG signal processing is the degradation caused by additive 50 or 60 Hz powerline interference....

Active power filter (APF) has now become a mature technology for harmonic and reactive power compensations in two-wire (single phase), three-wire (three phase without neutral), and four-wire (three phase with neutral) ac power networks with nonlinear loads. This paper presents a study on three different adaptive algorithms for active power filtering applications. These algorithms are adaptive l...

Electrocardiography (EKG) systems provide a solution for the recording of the heart activity and are indispensable in patient monitoring. Interfacing the EKG system with the human body is done with analog signal processing and operates towards proper signal conditioning. The EKG analog interface consists of an instrumentation amplifier, a notch filter and a highpass filter. This paper proposes ...

In the last few years, several microwave filter design with band-pass response have been proposed for ultra-wideband (UWB) application. Among various microwave filter design, microstrip filter are mostly used by researcher due to their low profile, light weight, easy to fabricate and low cost. Conventional microstrip filter can be in any shape whether circular, rectangular or elliptical but som...
