The filters in an RF IC are important elements, affecting the IC's performance, size, and cost. Traditionally, design of RF-IC filters requires three steps: lumped-element circuit synthesis from ...

Digital signal processors (DSPs) continue to receive a great deal of attention in new product design. For example, digital filter design reflects the importance of understanding and using this ...

Part 2 shows how to optimize filter banks using high-level synthesis tools, and reviews the results of each optimization. Filter banks are part of a group of signal processing techniques that ...

Introduction It is often necessary to filter data from sensors or audio streams in order to suppress unwanted noise. And, most of the time, a simple first order filter is all that is required. The ...

• Filters must be tested in a dynamic environment to predict how they will perform under real-world conditions. • Standards filter tests run at a constant flow rate. •DFE multipass tests subject ...

This two-part series introduces filter banks and shows how to implement them with high-level synthesis tools. Part 1 covers the principles of filter bank design. Filter banks are part of a group of ...
