Low Pass Filters

This paper discusses the design and integration of RF filters in multilayer organic substrate. Using a methodic approach, several low-pass and band-pass filters have been designed, fabricated and fully characterized. The electrical analysis clearly indicates, which of the low-pass filters is less susceptible to process variations and therefore more appropriate for high volume manufacturing. It is shown that these filters provide electrical performance similar to their commercially available ceramic counterparts while using relatively smaller real estate. All filters are fabricated in the innermost layers of a multilayer organic package substrate with embedded passives capability.

The relative contrast of features is known to be important in determining if they can be grouped. Two manipulations of feature contrast have previously been used to criticise models of visual grouping based on spatial filtering: high-pass filtering and reversal of contrast polarity. The effects of these manipulations are considered in the context of the perception of Glass patterns. It is shown that high-pass filtering elements, whilst destroying structure in the output of low-pass filters, do not significantly disrupt the output of locally band-pass filters. The finding that subjects can perceive structure in Glass patterns composed of high-pass features therefore offers no evidence against such spatial filtering mechanisms. Band-pass filtering models are shown to explain the rotation of perceived structure in Glass patterns composed of opposite contrast features. However, structure is correctly perceived in patterns composed of two ‘interleaved’ opposite contrast patterns, which is problematic for oriented filtering mechanisms. Two possible explanations are considered: nonlinear contrast transduction prior to filtering, and integration of local orientation estimates from first-order and second-order mechanisms.

Low Pass Filters

Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are probabilistic circuit primitives that extract randomness from the physical characteristics of a device. PUFs are easy and simple to implement and its random nature makes its behavior hard to predict and model. Most existing PUF designs are based on variation at the chip level and can not be implemented in a printed circuit board (PCB). Therefore, these PUFs can not be used to protect against counterfeit PCBs in a distributed supply chain. In this work, we propose a novel PUF design based on resistor and capacitor variations for low pass filters (LoPUF). We demonstrate the setup in a protoboard for different resistor-capacitor pairs (RC pairs) for reliable low pass filter PUF. Because of process variations, the voltage will be different at the same cut-off frequency for our proposed PUF. Finally, the output of the filter is connected to an inverter to measure the pulse width and best suitable pulses are used for ID generation based on our algorithm.

Low Pass Filters

Multiple carrier frequency detecting signals are transmitted simultaneously by multiple transmitters in multistatic sonar. The echoes mixed with different carrier frequency in the receiver. The different carrier frequency echoes must be separated from one another before features of echoes are extracted in the receiver. Such a problem can be solved by band-pass and low-pass filters. But the amount of operation by this way is too large for real-time realization. Thus this paper presents the technique of channelized receiver based on multiphase filter and the receiving schemes of echo. The proposed receiver has a smaller amount of operation compared to low-pass filter. At last, the feature extraction technology correlation processing and FDWT are introduced. In order to verify the feasibility of this scheme in multistatic sonar, the extracted features of original echo are contrasted with those of processed echo via simulation. Simulation results show that the proposed receiver provides considerable performance.

Operational amplifiers can greatly simplify the design of high performance signal filters because they elimi nate the need for inductors and for impedance matching. Furthermore, use of active filters can result in reduc tion of weight, size, and cost. Filters designed to satisfy sophisticated mathematical criteria can be realized without resort to "equalization" or trimming. In this issue we discuss the design of operational amplifier and analog computer circuits suitable for use as low pass filters. We also discuss the commonly used mathematically designed filters, i.e. Butterworth, Chebyshev, and Bessel. In addition, we present two new types of theoretical filters, the Paynter and the Aver aging filters. Design data necessary for realizing these theoretical filters with amplifier circuits is provided. In the next issue we shall discuss the design of band pass, band reject, high pass and all pass active filter circuits.

Transmission fluctuation spectrometry (TFS) is a new method for particle analysis based on the statistical fluctuations of a transmission signal. With simple optical arrangement and easy operation, the method can be applied to real-time, online measurements. The transmission signal with fluctuations are analyzed by using 1st order band-pass filters, and the experimental data in the frequency domain are obtained. The particle size distribution (PSD) and particle concentration are extracted from the experimental data with the modifed Chahine interations. It is found that the measurements using band-pass filters are of better resolution in the PSD than those with low-pass filters.

Microstrip filters have a significant role in Radio Frequency/Microwave applications. Microstrip filters are common on microwave circuits, satellite communications, radars, test equipments and so on. Because microstrip filters are compact, cheap and easy to produce, they are highly preferred for microwave applications. Microwave filter; microwave system is a two-ported element used to control the frequency response at a certain point by attenuating the frequencies in the stop band by transmitting in the frequency band. Typical frequency responses are low pass, high pass, band pass and band stop. Also approaches such as Butterworth, Chebyshev, and Elliptic are defining filter characteristics. In this paper, microstrip filters havign Chebyshev, Elliptic and Maximally Flat approaches were designed. For example Chebyshev filter of design filters having 6 GHz cut frequency and having 46,34 dB at 6,6 GHz. The insertion loss is -3,66 dB at 6 GHz. AWR Sonnet is used for the simulation and analysis of this filters.

This paper includes two new microstrip filter configurations for high frequency and Ultra-Wide Band applications. The first proposed filter is a composition of four parallel open-circuited stubs connected by optimized fractal-structured microstrip line. The filter response is a combination of three passing regions, namely low pass from 0.1 GHz to 3 GHz, band-pass from 4.5 GHz to 9 GHz and high pass from 10.5 GHz to 13 GHz, separated by two rejection regions from 3 GHz to 4.5 GHz and 9 GHz to 10.5 GHz. Deep and sharp rejection regions reaching up to -44.6 dB with 40 % fractional bandwidth (FBW) are observed with a good electrical performance. Furthermore, with a comparative table, the advantages of this proposed BSF in terms of FBW, compactness and insertion loss are compared with recently reported related studies. Secondly a dual-band band pass filter implementing a Stepped-Impedance resonator (SIR) and a modified H-shaped structure is presented. This filter is designed to operate in a low pass region up to 3.58 GHz and a band pass region from 15.38 to 21.65 GHz, with a wide stopband region between 4.46 and 14.07 GHz. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement. Compared to its peers, the compact size and low price allow for a wide application of these filter configurations, while passing frequencies allow operation in the unlicensed frequency spectrum, which is popular for high-speed communication.

Fractional band-pass filters are a promising area in the signal processing. They are especially attractive as a method for processing of biomedical signals, such as EEG, where large signal distortion is undesired. We present two structures of fractional band-pass filters: one as an analog of classical second-order filter, and one arising from parallel connection of two fractional low-pass filters. We discuss a method for filter implementation — Laguerre Impulse Response Approximation (LIRA) — along with sufficient conditions for when the filter can be realized with it. We then discuss methods of filter tuning, in particular we present some analytical results along with optimization algorithm for numerical tuning. Filters are implemented and tested with EEG signals. We discuss the results highlighting the possible limitations and potential for development.
