In this paper, a [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] low-pass and low power filter with tunable in-band attenuation for WiMAX/LTE receiver is presented. The fourth-order filter consists of two cascaded biquad stages. The source-follower (SF) stage is used as a key building block in these biquads. In this paper, we have presented a circuit technique to reduce the nonlinearity of the SF stage resulting from unmatched signal swings at the gate and source terminals of the input transistor. The proposed SF stage, is used for design of a linear biquad which is then utilized in a fourth-order Butterworth low-pass filter. The simulation results of the filter for bandwidth of 10 MHz show that the IIP3 of the filter is equal to 8.22[Formula: see text]dBm, in-band noise density is 100[Formula: see text]nV/[Formula: see text]Hz and power consumption is 5.9[Formula: see text]mW. The supply voltage of the filter is equal to 1[Formula: see text]V.

A new class of compact rectangular waveguide filters is proposed in this paper. The key element is a square ridge resonator realized within a rectangular waveguide supporting the fundamental TE10 mode. The square ridge can support two modes resonating along orthogonal directions in the gap between the ridge and the opposite waveguide wall. This structure enables dual-mode degeneracy without the need of oversized cavities, thus allowing for considerable size reduction with respect to the conventional dual-mode implementations. Different filter structures employing one or more ridges within short waveguide sections are proposed as attractive solutions for pseudo-elliptic band-pass or dual-band filters. The experimental results of a manufactured fourth-order pseudo-elliptic pass-band filter validate the feasibility of the proposed class of filters.

A noise removal technique using partial differential equations (PDEs) is proposed. It combines a second-order filter with a fourth-order filter. The combined method takes the advantage of both filters since it can preserve edges and at the same time avoid the blocky effects in smooth regions. The experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the model in image restoration.

We introduce a novel method for nonrigid image registration which combines the total variation filter and a fourth-order filter. We decompose the deformation field into two components, that is, a piecewise constant component and a smooth component. The total variation filter is used for the first component and the fourth-order filter is used for the second one. Then, we present a new PDE-based image registration model suitable for both smooth and nonsmooth deformation problem. Meanwhile, the local-global similarity measure is used in our method to improve the accuracy and robustness for image matching. By applying the split Bregman algorithm and dual algorithm, we present a fast and stable numerical scheme. The numerical experiments and comparisons on both synthetic images and real images demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in nonrigid image registration.
