An efficient interpolation FIR filter structure for high-density and low-power electronic devices is proposed. The proposed structure is based on polyphase decomposition property and look-up table method. By computer-aided design simulations, it is shown that the use of the proposed method can result in reduction in the number of gates by 54% and can reduce power consumption by 9%.

This paper is concerned about multiplierless interpolation FIR filters. In this paper, we propose a filter that performs T tap 1:N interpolation FIR filter operation with B-bit inputs without using multipliers. This is done by applying a method which converts a 2s complement multi-bits input to multiple single-bit inputs and a lookup table minimization method which reduces the size of lookup tables by use of the symmetry of filter coefficients and the symmetry of each lookup table. Two FIR filters are implemented using the methods proposed in this paper. Each of the two filters respectively follows the two design parameters in the specification of IMT-2000. Those two FIR filters have an advantage that the number of required gates is reduced up to 70% comparing to that of a conventional transversal FIR filter.

Korean fir(Abies koreana E.H.Wilson 1920), endemic tree species of Korean peninsula, is considered as vulnerable and endangered species to recent rapid environmental changes such as land use and climate change. There are limited activities and efforts to find natural habitats of Korean fir for conservation of the species and habitats. In this study, by applying SDMs (Species Distribution Models) based on climate and topographic factors of Korean fir, we developed Korean fir's predicted distribution model and explored novel natural habitats. In Mt. Shinbulsan, Youngnam region and Mt. Songnisan, we could find korean fir's two novel habitat and the former was the warmest($13^{\circ}C$ in annual mean temperature), the driest(1,200mm~1,600mm in annual rainfall) and relatively low altitude environment among Korean fir's habitats in Korea. The result of SDMs did not include mountain areas of Gangwon-do as habitats of A. nephrolepis, because there were different contributions of key habitat environment factors, summer rainfall, winter mean temperature and winter rainfall, between A. koreana and A. nephrolepis. Our results raise modification of other distribution models on Korean fir. Novel habitat of Korean fir in Mt. Shinbulsan revealed similar habitat affinity of the species, ridgy and rocky site, with other habitats in Korea. Our results also suggest potential areas for creation of Korea fir's alternative habitats through species reintroduction in landscape and ecosystem level.

Wild grapes have been used as traditional medicinal use and alcoholic beverage production in Korea. The objective of this study is to improve antioxidant properties in Sae-muru by far infrared ray (FIR) treatment, with expecting potential benefits of FIR treatment for wild grape products during manufacturing processes. FIR treatment in berries induced increased content of catechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin gallate, gallic acid, rutin, ellagic acid, and resveratrol, while content of epicatechin and epigallocatechin was decreased. Although FIR treatment resulted either increased or decreased chemical component groups, presenting in HPLC chromatograms, antioxidant activity in Sae-muru extract was significantly increased by the FIR treatment. Our results suggest that FIR treatment should be an efficient process in the production of high content of bioactive molecules in Sae-muru.

In this paper, a finite impulse response (FIR) filter is proposed for discrete-time nonlinear systems. The proposed filter is designed by combining the estimate of the perturbation state and nominal state. The perturbation state is estimated by adapting the optimal time-varying FIR filter for the linearized perturbation model and the nominal state is directly obtained from the nonlinear nominal trajectory model. Since the FIR structured estimators use the finite horizon information on the most recent time interval, the proposed extended FIR filter satisfies the bounded input/bounded output (BIBO) stability, which can't be obtained from infinite impulse response (IIR) estimators. Thus, it can be expected that the proposed extended FIR filter is more robust than IIR structured estimators such as an extended Kalman filter for the round-of errors and the uncertainties from unknown initial states and uncertain system model parameters. The simulation results show that the proposed filter has better performance than the extended Kalman filter (EKF) in both robustness and fast convergency.

In the high-speed/low-power digital filter applications like wireless communication systems, canonical signed digit(CSD) linear phase finite impulse response(FIR) filter structures are widely investigated. In this paper, we propose a high-speed/low-power CSD linear phase FIR filter structure using vertical common sub-expression. In the conventional linear phase CSD filter, horizontal common sub-expressions are utilized due to the inherent horizontal common sub-expression of symmetrical filter coefficients. We use the fact that their MSBs are also equal since adjacent filter coefficients have similar values in the linear phase filter Through the examples, it is shown that our proposed structure is more efficient in case that precision of implementation is lower, and tap length are longer.

Performance and realization of finite impulse response (FIR) digital filters that use an adaptive delta modulator (ADM) as an analog/digital converter have been studied. This filter requires no multiplication and offers many advantages over conventional PCM filters in low power consumption, small size, and cost effectiveness. Analytical formulas have been derived for the expected mean-squared errors and also for the word length necessary to achieve the desired performance. Computer simultation has been done to optimize the parameter values and to verify the results of performance analysis. In addition, design of FIR ADM digital filters for processing single and multi-channel signals has been considered.

This paper describes the hardware implementation of 2-D FIR digital filter for a real-time image processing. Generally, the most time-consuming operation in signal processing is the multiplication operation. To avoid it in digital filter. Pelid and Liu proposed the distributed arithmetic method for the one-dimensional case. The implementation method proposed in this paper is to extend Pelid's method to two-dimensional FIR filter using simple ROM lookup table and to use the technique of pipe lining two main operations of memory access and arithmetic. As a result, the speed of our proposed hardware implementation is two times faster than that of conventional methods and can be close to the real time speed.

Noise propagated through the ventilation openings of enclosures is actively controlled using an FIR filter. The enclosures considered in this paper are used for isolating noise due to machinery. This method is of limited use because of the ventilation openings through which most of noise is propagated. Feedforward control strategy is incorporated to minimize the acoustic power propagated through the openings. For the real-time implementation, although it is numerical study, the controller is implemented using an FIR filter. The acoustic transfer functions of the pressure on the openings of the enclosure to the primary source and to the secondary source are numerically calculated using the boundary element method. The performance analysis of the active control is conducted with the time-domain simulation using Matlab Simulink.

For data transmission over strictly band-limited non-ideal channels, different types of filters with arbitrary responses are needed. In this paper. we proposed two efficient techniques for the design of such FIR filters whose response is specified in either the time or the frequency domain. In particular when a fractionally-spaced structure is used for the transceiver, these filters can be efficiently designed by making use of characteristics of oversampling. By using a minimum mean-squared error criterion, we design a fractionally-spaced FIR filter whose frequency response can be controlled without affecting the output error. With proper specification of the shape of the additive noise signals, for example, the design results in a receiver filter that can perform compromise equalization as well as phase splitting filtering for QAM demodulation. The second method ad-dresses the design of an FIR filter whose desired response can be arbitrarily specified in the frequency domain. For optimum design, we use an iterative optimization technique based on a weighted least mean square algorithm. A new adaptation algorithm for updating the weighting function is proposed for fast and stable convergence. It is shown that these two independent methods can be efficiently combined together for more complex applications.
