Abstract In this paper a concept of finite impulse response (FIR) narrow band-stop (notch) filter with non-zero initial conditions, based on infinite impulse response (IIR) prototype filter, is proposed. The filter described in this paper is used to suppress power line noise from ECG signals. In order to reduce the transient response of the proposed FIR notch filter, optimal initial conditions for the filter have been determined. The algorithm for finding the length of the initial conditions vector is presented. The proposed values of the length of initial conditions vector, for several ECG signals and interfering frequencies, are calculated. The proposed filters are tested using various ECG signals. Computer simulations demonstrate that the proposed FIR filters outperform traditional FIR filters with initial conditions set to zero.

Abstract Both for active noise control (ANC) and active vibration control (AVC) the well known F-X-LMS-algorithm can be used. This approach requires a proper model of the path from the actuator to the error sensor, preferably received with an on-line identification. In the field of ANC adaptive finite impulse response (FIR) filters work well for this task, but for lightly damped mechanical systems with long impulse responses FIR filters with up to several thousand coefficients would have to be used. One alternative are adaptive IIR filters, but these can get unstable while adapting or the adapting process can get stuck in local minima. In this work, adaptive Kautz models are introduced, which need some a priori knowledge about the poles of the system. On the other hand, they represent an infinite impulse response while maintaining the transversal structure of the adaptive filter. This is reached by generalization of the FIR filter, for which the delay operator is substituted by discrete allpass filters, the Kautz filters. The adaptive filter bank is implemented by means of the straightforward LMS algorithm in the Matlab/Simulink environment. As an example, system identification with Kautz models and their usage in AVC for a simple mechanical system will be studied.

AbstractThe paper presents a method of optimizing frequency characteristics of filter banks in terms of their implementation in digital CMOS technologies in nanoscale. Usability of such filters is demonstrated by frequency-interleaved (FI) analog-to-digital converters (ADC). An analysis filter present in these converters was designed in switched-current technique. However, due to huge technological pitch of standard digital CMOS process in nanoscale, its characteristics substantially deviate from the required ones. NANO-studio environment presented in the paper allows adjustment, with transistor channel sizes as optimization parameters. The same environment is used at designing a digital synthesis filter, whereas optimization parameters are input and output conductances, gyration transconductances and capacitances of a prototype circuit. Transition between analog s and digital z domains is done by means of bilinear transformation. Assuming a lossless gyrator-capacitor (gC) multiport network as a prototype circuit, both for analysis and synthesis filter banks in FI ADC, is an implementation of the strategy to design filters with low sensitivity to parameter changes. An additional advantage is designing the synthesis filter as stable infinite impulse response (IIR) instead of commonly used finite impulse response (FIR) filters. It provides several dozen-fold saving in the number of applied multipliers.. The analysis and synthesis filters in FI ADC are implemented as filter pairs. An additional example of three-filter bank demonstrates versatility of NANO-studio software.

This chapter now turns to the discussion of filters, which extend the notion of spectrum beyond signals into the processes themselves. A gentle introduction to the concept of delaying signals, aided by yet another variant of the Fourier transform, the discrete-time Fourier transform, allows the operation of filters to be dissected. Another analysis tool, in the form of the z-transform, is brought to the fore as a complex-valued version of the discrete-time Fourier transform. A study of the characteristics of filters, introducing the notion of zeros and poles, as well as finite impulse response (FIR) and infinite impulse response (IIR) forms, composes the main body of the text. This is complemented by a discussion of filter design and applications, including ideas related to time-varying filters. The chapter conclusion expands once more the definition of spectrum.

It is well known that multiplierless finite impulse response (FIR) filters in multiple-stage cascade form can achieve lower hardware cost and lower coefficient sensitivity than that of single stage design. In this work, a novel algorithm is proposed for the design of multiplierless multiple-stage cascaded FIR filters. Unlike to the conventional algorithms in which the number of stages is fixed and usually is fixed to two, the number of stage in the proposed algorithm is automatically determined. The design examples show that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms the best existing algorithm in terms of hardware cost and the design time is also saved.

Ensuring the structural integrity of oil pipelines is vital to prevent environmental damage and economic losses. In that sense, it is important to know the magnitude of the stress in the pipe, which must be done using non-destructive techniques. Measuring stress using ultrasonic longitudinal critically refracted waves (LCR) has been applied to pipelines with very promising results. The technique is based on the acoustoelastic theory that relates speed variation of elastic waves traveling in the material with its state of strain. Nevertheless, the signals acquired from piezoelectric transducers in such application may show high levels of noise coming mainly from material sources (grain boundaries, irregularities). The noise makes the measurement of wave velocity difficult, resulting in imprecise evaluations of the stress in the pipeline. The aim of this study is to evaluate techniques for filtering digital signals of LCR waves propagating in an oil pipe fabricated with API 5L X70 steel. We analyzed the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of digitalized acquired signals in four circumstances: without treatment; signals treated with successive averages; treated with FIR (Finite Impulse Response) and IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) digital filters, and with the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). The results show that the signals treated with DWT present better SNR compared to the other techniques.

Distributed estimation of parameters in wireless sensor networks is taken into consideration to reduce the communication overhead of the network which makes the sensor system energy efficient. Most of the distributed approaches in literature, the sensor system is modeled with finite impulse response as it is inherently stable. Whereas in real time applications of WSN like target tracking, fast rerouting requires, infinite impulse response system (IIR) is used to model and that has been chosen in this work. It is assumed that every sensor node is equipped with IIR adaptive system. The diffusion least mean square (DLMS) algorithm is used to estimate the parameters of the IIR system where each node in the network cooperates themselves. In a sparse WSN, the performance of a DLMS algorithm reduces as the degree of the node decreases. In order to increase the estimation accuracy with a smaller number of iterations, the sensor node needs to share their information with more neighbors. This is feasible by communicating each node with multi-hop nodes instead of one-hop only. Therefore the parameters of an IIR system is estimated in distributed sparse sensor network using multihop diffusion LMS algorithm. The simulation results exhibit superior performance of the multihop diffusion LMS over non-cooperative and conventional diffusion algorithms.
