A new architecture to realize a modular, high-speed, reconfigurable, digital Rank Order Filter (ROF) is presented in this paper. A bit-level algorithm by Kar and Pradhan has been modified in this work to implement the proposed ROF. Using the proposed digital rank selection circuit it is possible to find the element of a certain rank in a given sequence of N elements in each window in M steps, where M is the number of bits used in binary representation for the elements of the sequence. The size of the proposed ROF increases only linearly with the number of samples in each window to be ranked. The proposed ROF is also modular in nature, which means function of each part of the ROF is well defined and so the circuit can be easily expandable for larger window size. The proposed ROF has been implemented in FPGA and post-fit simulation results are presented in this paper. HSPICE simulation of the proposed ROF is also done for 0.18um CMOS process. The simulation result shows that the circuit could be operated at a clock speed of 500 MHz.

We present a new scalable architecture for the realization of fully programmable rank order filters (ROF). Capacitive Threshold Logic (CTL) gates are utilized for the implementation of the multi-input programmable majority (voting) functions required in the architecture. The CTL-based realization of the majority gates used in the ROF architecture allows the filter rank as well as the window size to be user-programmable, using a much smaller silicon area, compared to conventional realizations of digital median filters. The proposed filter architecture is completely modular and scalable, and the circuit complexity grows only linearly with maximum window size (m) and with word length (n). A prototype of the proposed filter circuit has been designed and fabricated using double-polysilicon 0.8 μm CMOS technology. Detailed post-layout simulations and test results of the ROF prototype circuit indicate that the new architecture can accommodate sampling clock rates of up to 50 MHz, corresponding to an effective data processing rate of 800 Mb/s for a very large filter with window size 63 and word length of 16 bits.
