This paper proposes an efficient decimation filter structure in programmable down converter for software radio. The decimation filter consists of the cascaded integrator-comb(CIC) filter, a compensation filter for CIC, cascaded comb and modified halfband filters, and programmable FIR filter. Since the compensation filter is used in CIC, the passband drooping is compensated and stopband attenuation is improved. Therefor the more decimation can be implemented in CIC filter. The compensation filter in CIC reduced the computational complexity of other decimation filters and the coefficients of PFIR, thereby achieving a significant hardware reduction over existing approaches. We can reduce the multiply operator by 20% in hardware and operation by 50% as compared with PDC of Harris.

본 논문은 무선 통신 시스템에 사용될 수 있는 저전력의 Cascaded Integrator-Comb(CIC) 필터 뱅크 구조를 제안한다. 필터 뱅크를 만들기 위해서 CIC 필터의 적분기 섹션을 변화시켜 구성하는 방법을 제안하였으며, 원하는 채널별 중심주파수를 정확히 맞추기 위하여 Modified CIC Filter(MCF)를 사용하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이 방법으로 채널별 중심주파수가 원하는 주파수에 위치하도록 필터 뱅크를 구현할 수 있음을 보였다. 또한 각 채널별 통과대역 주파수응답특성을 개선할 수 있는 새로운 Generalized Comb Filter(GCF)를 제안하였다. 한 개의 GCF와 두 개의 GCF를 각 채널에 적용하는 방법과 그때 통과대역의 주파수응답특성이 얼마나 향상되는지를 보였다. 또한 본 논문이 제안한 CIC 필터 뱅크와 일반 FIR 필터를 사용한 필터 뱅크의 구현 소자의 수를 비교하여 구조의 우수함을 입증하였다.

Owing to the advances in ADC and DSP technologies, signals in If band, which once had to be processed in analog technology, can new be digitally processed. This is referred to as "Digital IF" or "Digital Radio", which is a preliminary stage of SDR. Applying the digital radio technology to a multi-carrier receiver design, a processing gain is generated through an over-sampling of input data. In the digital receiver, decimation is performed for reducing the computational complexity CIC and half band filter is used together with the decimation as an anti-alising filter. The CIC filter, however, should introduce the roll-off phenomenon in the passband, which causes the receiving performance to be considerably degraded due to the distorted Passband flatness of receiving filter. In this paper, we designed a CIC roll-off compensation filter for W-CDMA digital receiver. The performance of the proposed compensation filter is confirmed through computer simulations in such a way that the BER is minimized by compensating the roll-off characteristics.off characteristics.

In this paper, a new filter structure to improve frequency response characteristics in CIC(Cascaded Integrator-Comb) decimation filters is proposed. Conventional filters improve passband characteristics, but they make worse slinging band characteristics. In this paper, we propose a new filter which is called IFOP(Interpolated Fourth-Order Polynomials). By using this proposed filter, passband droop and aliasing band attenuation are simultaneously improved. Since proposed filter needs only one multiplication computation is not much. And overall linear phase characteristics are maintained since the proposed filter is also linear phase. Finally, implementation cost of the proposed filter is compared with those of conventional filters.

In this paper, a low-power CIC(U Integrator Comb) filter bank structure is proposed for wireless communication systems. Since conventional CIC filter can not meet the desired center frequencies in each channel of filter banks, we developed a Modified CIC Filter(MCF) for those purpose.

In this paper, we propose a new gain optimization technique for Sigma-Delta A/D converters. In the proposed scheme, multiple gain set candidates showing maximum SNR in the modulator block are selected, and then multiple gain set candidates are investigated for minimum MSE in decimation block. Through CIC decimation filter simulation, it is shown that second SNR ranking candidate in modulation block is the best gain set.

In this paper, we propose new gain optimization method for Sigma-Delta A/D converters. First, in proposed method, the 10 candidates are selected through SNR maximization for Sigma-Delta modulator. After then, it is shown that optimum gains can be obtained through MSE calculation for CIC decimation filter. In the simulation, The proposed method has advantages which utilize SNR maximization for modulator and MSE minimization for CIC decimation later. The more candidates are chosen in SNR maximization for modulator, the better gains can be obtained in MSE minimization for CIC decimation filter.

Available electric wave resources have been limited than frequency demands that increase with the development of radio communication. According to FCC's (Federal Communication Commission) report, 70% of allocated spectrum was unused. This means that the lack phenomenon of electronic wave resources is ineffectively managed compare with the finiteness of frequency resources. According to the recognition of unused frequency within allocated band, this progress has been investigating to identify the unused TV channel and provide radio communication services. This paper proposed the sensing algorithm that efficiently recognizes the frequency resources which does not use and shares with the licensed user through using the multi-band CIC (Cascaded Integrator Comb) filter based on polyphase filter bank. The simulation results verifies that the proposed scheme can obtain the similar performance of variance and relatively low complexity to the existing scheme.

In this paper, a new CIC filter structure for reduction of passband droop in CIC decimation filter is proposed. For improvement of passband characteristics, the 1st order Generalized Comb Filter(UF) is proposed in addition to the conventional CIC decimation filter. By using this filter, it is shown that passband droop is remarkably reduced and aliasing attenuation is slightly increased. We also propose how to find the optimum filter coefficient Furthermora, it is shown that choices for GCF are possible in terms of the number of Half-Band filter. Passband droops and aliasing attenuations of the proposed structure are compared with those of the CIC structures using conventional sharpening techniques.
