The low-power design of the A/D converter is indispensable to achieve the compact bio-signal measuring device with long battery duration. In this paper, new decimation filter structure is proposed for the low-power design of the Sigma-Delta A/D converter in the bio-instruments. The proposed filter is based on the non-recursive structure of the CIC (Cascaded Integrator Comb) decimation filter in the Sigma-Delta A/D converter. By combining the CSD (Canonic Signed Digit) structure with common sub-expression sharing technique, the proposed decimation filter structure can significantly reduce the number of adders for implementation. For the fixed decimation factor of 16, the 15％ of power consumption saving is achieved in the proposed structure in comparison with that of the conventional polyphase CIC filter.

In this paper, a novel varactor-tuned combline bandpass filter is presented. The coupling varactor diode between line elements is introduced to control the passband bandwidth so that the passband bandwidth can be maintained almost constant within the tuning range. The equivalent circuit and design equations are derived, and the optimum design is discussed. A 1.7 GHz, two-pole bandpass filter with a bandwidth of $4.5\%$ was constructed. The absolute passband bandwidth was maintained almost constant within more than 0.4 octave tuning range.

Digital decimation filter is inevitable in oversampled sigma-delta A/D converters for the sake of reducing the oversampled rate to Nyquist rate. This paper presented a Verilog-HDL design and implementation of an area-efficient digital decimation filter that provides time-to-market advantage for sigma-delta analog-to-digital converters. The digital decimation filter consists of CIC(cascaded integrator-comb) filter and two cascaded half-band FIR filters. A CSD(canonical signed digit) representation of filter coefficients is used to minimize area and reduce in hardware complexity of multiplication arithmetic. Coefficient multiplications are implemented by using shifters and adders. This three-stage decimation filter is fabricated in $0.25-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology and incorporates $1.36mm^2$ of active area, shows 4.4 mW power consumption at clock rate of 2.8224 MHz. Measured results show that this digital decimation filter is suitable for digital audio decimation filters.

Accurate transmission and estimation of the channel statistics affected by high Doppler spread is one of the main issues of concern for the latest and future mobile communication systems. Therefore, it is important to research in novel channel estimation techniques that overcome the limitations of conventional methods. In this paper, we propose a novel channel estimation method that, after a simple estimation in the first OFDM symbol, uses Kalman filter to predict the channel in the rest of OFDM symbols with pilot subcarriers. Our method is designed considering the lattice-type arrangement of pilot subcarriers in LTE-Advanced, since most of the studies so far focus on block-type or comb-type pilot arrangements. In addition, to optimize the results, we use the filtering of channel impulse response and Wiener Filter for the estimation of the channel frequency response in the rest of the subcarriers.

We have implemented Frequency bandwidth expander with frequency upconverting by VCO drift canceller and comb generator. Te output of the low frequency synthesizer which the output frequency is 220~280MHz(Resolution : 5MHz) is expanded to 1660~2140MHz by this system. The phase noise of this system only depends on the phase noise of comb generator and low frequency synthesizer. The phase noise of VCO don’t influence at the frequency expander because the drift of VCO cancel out. When we control the output of VCO, the output frequency of this system is varied by 60MHz x N as filter banker. The switching time and the spurious of the frequency expander is below 3usec, -55dBc respectively. This system easily expands bandwidth additively by expanding the output bandwidth of the VCO. We can apply the frequency expander to very wide band microwave synthesizer which has fast switching time.

This paper describes new harmonic disturbance compensation based on a peak filter array for Hard Disk Drives. Unlike a conventional method, the proposed method does not require any sin/cos functions or tables and reduces effects of all harmonic disturbances within a nyquist frequency. Two factors are introduced to parameterize stability and a gain tune. In addition, it is verified that the order of the proposed filter is minimal. From 600 experimental results, 8.5% performance improvement is achieved.

In Korea, transition to digital TV broadcasting started at the metropolitan Seoul area and has expanded to the metropolitan area in 2004. However, until 2010 analog NTSC broadcasting will co-exist with digital TV. In this situation, digital TV may have the same channel as an analog NTSC broadcasting. To remove the effect of the analog NTSC intereference, DTV receivers adopt an NTSC rejection filter. In this paper, analysis on properties of the filter, such as a rejection property and noise performance degradation, is presented.

In this paper, a design technique is introduced for designing a 360-degree linear analog phase shifter at 1.8㎓. Using tunable short-circuit terminated comb-line filters as reactive loads, the circuit gives a very small insertion loss(less than 0.1㏈) and an almost linear phase shifter over the filter bandwidth for the full 360-degree range. We were showed large phase variation with small capacitance variation in the quadrature hybrid coupler using tunable shorted terminated combline filters.

We have demonstrated the selection and the amplification of the components of an optical frequency comb using femto-second laser injection-locking technique. We used a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser as a master laser and a single-mode diode laser as a slave laser. After passing through the interference filter with the center wavelength 794.7 nm and the transmittance bandwidth 1.5 nm, the optical frequency comb by mode-locked femto-second laser was injected into the slave laser. The injection-locked slave laser had $3{\sim}4$ multi-mode with the mode spacing 100.5 MHz, whichcorrespond to the repetition rate of a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser. The power of the modes selected by femto-second laser injection-locking technique was amplified to several thousands times

Recently, there has been much interest in the terrestrial broadcasting of the HDTV signal. However, in the Simulcast where the NTSC and HDTV signal are transmitted using the same channel, the cochannel interference occurs which degrade the transmission performance. Recently, the GA(Grand Alliance) proposed the cochannel interference rejection system which use comb filter. However, this method shows poor performance for the NTSC carrier variation [7]. In this paper we propose a novel NTSC cochannel interference rejection system which shows improved performance for the NTSC carrier variation. In the proposed scheme, the adaptive notch filter is employed along with adaptive channel equalizer. In this paper, we also present some analytical results on the NTSC rejection performance of the GA and proposed scheme. Computer simulation results reveal that the proposed scheme outperforms order outperforms order of 10 in the BER(bit error rate) sense for the normal condition.
