A novel microwave transversal-filter for Fibre-Optic CDMA (FO-CDMA) is described. The proposed distributed transversal-filter permits the development of receivers for high-speed networks. The transversal filter is aimed to receive efficiently spread signals at speeds of tens of Gchip/s. In order to demonstrate the concept a transversal filter was designed to operate at 10 Gchip/s and programmed...

In this paper we introduce the generalized feedforward filter, a new class of adaptive filters that combines attractive properties of finite impulse response (FIR) filters with some of the power of infinite impulse response (IIR) filters. A particular case, the gamma filter, generalizes Widrow’s adaptive transversal filter (adaline) to an infinite impulse response filter. Yet, the stability con...

In this tutorial paper we present a generalization of the transversal filter, called Laguerre filter, and study some of its more remarkable properties. This filter is obtained by replacing each delay of the transversal filter by a first order all-pass section, and by applying a first order low-pass filter (with the same pole used in the all-pass sections) to the filter’s input signal. Both the ...

A distnbuted amplifier based 5-tap tramversai filter using MESFET implementation of the Gilbert Cell as the tap weights has been designed for use as a fractonally spilfed adjustable equaluer in high speed optical c~mmunication systems. The effective tramconductance of the Gilbert Celi can be adjusted h m negative to positive values and therefore the transversal filter designed has adjustable po...

We investigate the convergence behavior of the normalized least mean square (NLMS) algorithm in the structure of a linear transversal filter. At the n-th iteration, the traditional NLMS transversal filter generates the n-th output signal by using linear convolution of the n-th input vector and the n-th coefficient vector. Based on this result, the n-th coefficient vector is updated to the n + 1...

Abstract: The analysis of transversal filters based on a novel cell design in common-source configuration (TF-CS) is presented. Based on this approach, a distributed transversal filter was designed as a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) for optical-CDMA receiver systems [1]. In order to assess its performance, a transversal filter based on Gilbert cells (TF-GC) was designed using t...

In this work, the approach of the distributed transversal filter for Optical CDMA systems is addressed. It demonstrates that pulse generation and correlation functions can be accomplished in the electrical domain for multi-Gbit/s systems. The practicalities of the approach were assessed using a state of the art GaAs MMIC process. A innovate transversal filter, which is termed the dual drain-lin...

A simple design technique for a microwave lumped and transversal filter using constant-k filter sections is presented. The noise figure can be suppressed by source degeneration inductors, which are added to the transversal element. The filter elements are analytically derived based on the specification and the noise minimization. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 48: 116...

Ahstpact-Convergence properties of a continuously adaptive digital lattice filter. used as a linear predictor are investigated for both an unnormalized and a normalized gradient adaptation algorithm. The PARCOR coefficient mean values and the output mean-square error (MSE) are approximated and a simple model is described which approximates these quantities as functions of time. Calculated curve...

PSK interference rejection using complex adaptive filter with conditional response recalculation in DS-SS/PSK system is considered in this paper. New adaptive filter decreases error probability for several orders of magnitude when compared to the standard adaptive transversal filter.
