This paper propose a novel VLSI architecture for a multiplierless FIR filter chip providing variable-length taps. To change the number of taps, we propose two special features called a data-reuse structure and a recurrent-coefficient scheme. These features consist of several MUXs and registers and reduce the number of gates over 20% compared with existing chips using an address generation unit and a modulo unit. Since multipliers occupy large VLSI area, a multiplierless filter chip meeting real-time requirement can save large area. We propose a modified bit-serial multiplication algorithm to compute two partial products in parallel, and thus, the proposed filter is twice faster and has smaller hardware than previous multiplierless filters. We developed VHDL models and performed logic synthesis using the 0.8.mu.m SOG (sea-of-gate) cell library. The chip has only 9,507 gates, was fabricated, and is running at 77MHz.

Interpolated second order polynomials(ISOP's) are proposed to design efficient cascaded integrator-comb(CIC)-based decimation filters for a programmable downconverter. It is shown that some simple ISOP's can effectively reduce the passband droop caused by CIC filtering with little degradation in aliasing attenuation. In addition, ISOP's are shown to be useful for simplifying halfband filters that usually follow CIC filtering. As a result, a modified half band filter(MHBF) is introduced which is simpler than conventional halfband filters. The proposed decimation filter for a programmable downconverter is a cascade of a CIC filter, an ISOP, MHBF's and a programmable finite impulse response(FIR) filter. A procedure for designing the decimation filter is developed. In particular, an optimization technique that simultaneously designs the decimation filter is developed. In particular, an optimization technique that simultaneously designs the ISOP and programmable FIR filters is presented. Design examples demonstrate that the proposed method leads to more efficient programmable downconverters than existing ones.

This paper proposes a new design method for obtaining the impulse responses which satisfy the prescribed conditions designing for maximally flat FIR lowpass filters and highpass filters. The bandpass filters and band-reject filters have been directly derived from the addition and subtraction of impulse responses of a lowpass filter and a highpass filter. The two-dimensional maximally flat FIR lowpass filter, highpass filters, bandpass filters and band-reject filters with zero-phase have been designed by transforming the impulses of the one-dimensional filters designed in this research, which do not destroy lines and edges at the image signal processing.

Conventional design methods for CTD (charge transfer devices) FIR filters, whose coefficients consist of +1, 0, and -1, do not guarantee the phase linearity of the resulting filter, To obtain the linear phase filter, in this paper, an improved algorithm is presented based on the symmetry property of the linear phase filter coefficients. It has been shown that the proposed algorithm results in the linear phase filter and that the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is reduced by an half of that in the existing method.

This paper proposes the optimal design method of PSF(pulse shaping filter) with fixed-point coefficients, often used in digital communication system. Though RCF (Raised Cosine Filter) and Root-Squared RCF have less attenuation in stopband and are designed with floating point coefficients, those are selected by the reason that the design is simple. In this paper, 1 introduce the optimal design method for fixed point PSF including Root Squared type by using mixed integer linear programming. Through some design examples, it is shown that the proposed method better performs in ISI and requires less complexity. The complexity of the proposed filter is reduced to 20% as compared to conventional RCF and Root Squared RCF. For IS-95, that is the standard of CDMA system, the proposed filter reduces ISI up to 75% compared to the standard transmission filter.

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.

A new method for design of two-channel finite-impulse response(FIR) quadrature mirror-image filter(QMF) banks with low reconstruction delay using weighting function is proposed. The weighting function used in this paper is calculated from the previous updated filter coefficients vector which is adjusted from iteration to iteration in the design of QMF banks. In this paper, passband and stopband edge frequency are used in design of QMF banks with low delay characteristic in time domain instead of specific frequency interval where the artifacts occur in conventional design method. The investigation of specific frequency interval where artifacts occur can not be required by using passband and stopband edge frequency. Some comparisons of performance are made with other existing design method to demonstrate the proposed method for QMF bank design. and it was observed that the proposed method using the weighted function and passband and stopband edge frequency improves the peak reconstruction error by 0.001 [dB], the peak-to-peak passband ripple by 0.003[dB], SNR with a white noise by 7[dB] and SNR with a step input by 32[dB], but with a reduction of the computational efficiency because of updating the weighting function over the conventional method in Ref [11].

In this study, a Software Defined Radio(SDR) technology-based digital filtering technique applicable to a multiple channel processing system such as a wireless mobile communication system using Code Division Multiple Access(CDMA) technology is proposed. The technique includes a micro-processor to redesign Finite Impulse Response(FIR) filter coefficients according to specific system information and to download the filter coefficients to one digital Band Pass Filter(BPF) to reconfigure another system. The feasibility of the algorithm is verified by implementing a multiple channel signal generator that is reconfigurable to other system profiles, including those for a CDMA system and a WCDMA system on identical hardware platform.

This paper presents a design of FIR near-equiripple Nyquist filters having zero-intersymbol interference (ISI) and low sensitivity to timing jitter, with coefficients taking only discrete values. Using an affine scaling linear programming algorithm, an optimum discrete coefficient set can be obtained in a feasible computational time. Also presented is a pipelined multiplier-free FIR filter realization with periodically time-varying (PTV) coefficients based on a hybrid form suitable for Nyquist filter. The realization exploits the coefficient symmetry to reduce the hardware by about one half. High speed computation and low power consumption are achieved by its pipelined and low fan-out structure.

In this paper, we propose the MDM algorithm by which one can desing an FIR filter that is maximally flat and requires no multiplication. We use the modified MAXFLAT subroutive of Kaiser to achieve the maximally-flat characteristics. The filter coefficients are encoded in MDM-code and the optimal stepsize is determined the steepest- descent method. Simulation results shows that the FIR filter designed is almost maximally-flat in passband, but has about -30dB ripples in stopband due to MDM quantization error.
