This paper introduces analog FIR filters based on a distributed amplifier and analyzes the proposed filter's characteristics. A simple design method of an analog FIR filter based on the digital filter design technique is also introduced. The proposed analog FIR filters are a moving average(MA) and a comb type filters with no multiplier. This simple structures of the proposed filters may enable to operate at multi-GHz frequency range and applicable to combine a filter and an amplifier of RF system. The proposed analog FIR filters were implemented with standard $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The designed GHz analog FIR filters are simulated by Cadence Spectre and compared to the results of digital FIR filters obtained from MATLAB simulations. From the simulation results, the characteristics of the proposed analog FIR filters are fairly well matched with those of digital FIR filters.

This paper presents our implemented, synthesized and tested on demand and partial reconfiguration approaches for FIR filters using Xilinx Virtex FPGAs. Our scope is implementation of a low-power, area-efficient autonomously reconfigurable digital signal processing architecture that is tailored for the realization of arbitrary response FIR filters on Xilinx Virtex4 FPGAs. The implementation of design addresses area efficiency and flexibility allowing dynamically inserting and/or removing the partial modules to implement the partial reconfigurable FIR filters with various taps. This partial reconfigurable FIR filter design shows the configuration time improvement, good area efficiency and flexibility by using the dynamic partial reconfiguration method.

일반적으로 매우 낮은 차단주파수를 가지는 FIR 저역통과 필터의 경우 그 과도영역의 폭이 상대적으로 매우 좁기 때문에 긴 임펄스 응답을 가지게 되며, 따라서 많은 계산량을 필요로 하게 된다. 본 논문에서는, FIR 필터의 계수를 서브샘플링(subsampling)하여 계산량의 현저한 감소를 도모하고, 그로 인하여 발생하는 주파수 영역의 이미지를 IIR 필터를 사용하여 제거하는 기법을 제안한다. IIR 필터로 인하여 발생하는 위상의 왜곡은 앞단의 FIR 필터의 계수를 조절함으로써 상쇄시킬 수 있다. 제안된 알고리듬을 채택할 경우, 동일한 성능의 일반 FIR 필터에 비하여 사용하는 메모리의 양은 거의 같으나, 계산량은 수십분의 일까지 감소시킬 수 있다.

Singular Value Decomposition of 2-D Finite Impulse Response was used to design a variable cutoff 2-D FIR filters. Basically this approach allows to use 1-D techniques while dealing with 2-D filters. In this paper, our aim is to provide away of easily tuning 2-D FIR filters. For example, one would like to adjust interactively the cutoff frequency of a 2-D Circular Symmetric low-pass filter on an image processing system. The decomposition of 2-D FIR filters along with techniques available for tuning 1-D FIR filters allows such adjustment. Several design examples are shown.

This paper introduces a 5GHz FIR filter low noise amplifier (LNA) based on a distributed amplifier and analyzes the its characteristics. The proposed FIR filter-LNA has the MA(moving average) filter characteristic which improves the frequency selectivity of the amplifier. Proto-type circuits with FR4 and ${\varepsilon}_r=10.2$ PCB have been realized and simulated using ADS (Advanced Design System). The simulation results verified that the designed LNA had a gain of about 10dB and the frequency characteristic of the MA FIR filter. It is expected that the proposed FIR filter LNA can be applicable to the various applications using an amplifier and a filter in RF systems.

본 논문에서는 디지털 보호 계전기에 쓰이는 필터 중에서 최소 자승 알고리즘을 이용한 고성능 FIR 필터를 설계하였다. 기존의 DFT필터와 MATLAB 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 비교하였으며 FIR 필터의 VHDL모델 및 합성에 중점을 두었다. FIR 필터는 기본적으로 유한개의 임펄스 응답이 이루어지기 때문에 기타 다른 필터에 비하여 안정도가 높으며 선형적인 위상을 가지기 때문에 차단 주파수 대역의 왜곡현상을 없앨 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 여러 가지 알고리즘으로 구현한 FIR 필터를 시뮬레이션 한 결과 최소 자승 알고리즘이 가장 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. 기본적으로 디지털 보호 계전기에서 디지털 필터의 기능은 사고 전압, 전류로부터 60Hz의 기본파 추출 CT, PT 왜곡 및 DC offset을 제거하는데 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기능을 가지면서 샘플링 주파수와 차수를 같게 하여 FIR 필터와 DFT 필터의 주파수 응답과 연 산 속도를 비교 하였다. 본 논문에서 설계된 최소 자승 알고리즘을 이용한 FIR 필터는 같은 조건의 DFT필터에 비해 1고조파와 2고조파의 차이가 10db 이상 더 우수 하였으며 연산 속도 또한 2배 이상 좋은 결과를 보였다.

본 논문에서는 무선 통신 시스템의 중간주파수 처리 단을 디지털로 신호 처리하는 DDC(Digital Down Converter)의 저전력 아키텍처를 제안한다. FIR 필터의 계산량을 줄이기 위해서 개발된 Interpolated FIR 필터가 DDC의 데시메이션 필터로 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 논문은 이와 같은 Interpolated FIR 필터의 개념이 IIR 필터에도 적용될 수 있음을 보이고, 전력 소모와 구현 면적이 기존의 Interpolated FIR 구조보다 더욱 감소된 Interpolated IIR 필터 구조를 제안하였다. CDMA IS-95 DDC 사양의 데시메이션 필터를 FIR 구조, Interpolated FIR 구조, IIR 구조, Interpolated IIR 구조로 구현하여 이 4가지 구조들의 전력소모와 구현 면적을 비교하였으며 제안된 Interpolated IIR 구조가 기존의 Interpolated FIR 구조에 비하여 15.2%의 소모전력 감소와 35.3%의 구현면적의 감소를 달성할 수 있음을 보인다.

The design of two-dimensional zero-phase FIR digital filters by transformations is a popular and well-developed technique, but is suffers from the disadvantage that in its current form the filters with only four quadrant symmetry can not be designed exactly circular symmetry at frequencies far from the origin. it is shown how symmetry requirement for the filters with any number of dimensions can be fulfilled with arbbitrary percision by adapting transformation with the appropriate series expansions. this transformation has been known generally as the McClellan transformation. In this paper, a simple method for ensuring exelent circular symmetry at frequencies far from the origin is presented. This method which employs the Modified Mcclellan trnsformation for the design of 2-D FIR filter form 1-D FIR filters is quite useful for the design of 2-D FIR filters with multiple cutoff boundaries such as band-pass filters.

In this paper, the estimation method for the power signal harmonics is proposed by using the time-varying optimal finite impulse response (FIR) filter. To estimate the magnitude and phase-angle of the harmonic components, the time-varying optimal FIR filter is designed for the state space representation of the noisy power signal which the magnitude and phase is considered as a stochastic process. Since the time-varying optimal FIR filter used in the proposed method does not use any priori information of the initial condition and has FIR structure, the proposed method could overcome the demerits of Kalman filter based method such as poor estimation and divergence problem. Due to the FIR structure, the proposed method is more robust against to the model uncertainty than the Kalman filter. Moreover, the proposed method gives more general solution than the time-invariant optimal FIR filter based harmonic estimation method. To verify the performance and robustness of the proposed method, the proposed method is compared with time-varying Kalman filter based method through simulation.

In complex noise environment, digital filter is being used to obtain, transport and storage original voice or image signal. Digital filter can be largely separated FIR(Finite duration impulse response) filter and IIR(Infinite duration impulse response) filter. Among FIR filter, window function has characteristic of linear phase and as can be easily set pass-band frequency, cutoff frequency and so on. In this paper, We compared with established method using transient characteristic and peak side-lobe in order to check filter characteristics after we designed the existing variants of the window function.
