The overall performance of the recursive least-squares (RLS) algorithm is governed by the forgetting factor. The value of this parameter leads to a compromise between low misadjustment and stability on the one hand, and fast convergence rate and tracking on the other hand. In this paper, we analyze another important phenomenon that has to be considered when choosing the value of the forgetting factor. Considering a system identification setup, there is a “leakage” of the system noise into the output of the adaptive filter. This process is highly influenced by the value of the forgetting factor but it also depends on the length of the adaptive filter. Simulations performed in an echo cancellation configuration prove these theoretical findings.

This paper presents a high speed low power 4:2 compressor cell design based on Domino Logic circuits. Two circuit level optimizations of 4:2 compressors are proposed by using Split Domino Logic and Multiple-output Domino Logic. All three designed circuits are simulated using HSPICE and compared with each other in terms of delay, power consumption, power-delay product, and operation frequency. Simulation results confirm the property of the design.

In this paper, a novel center frequency measurement method in an analog CMOS Gm/C band-pass filter is introduced. The purposed method is based on the measurement of stepresponse damping oscillation period which is related to over-shoot and under-shoot time difference of filter. This time difference is converted to a PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) control signal for filter automatic fine-tuning system. HSPICE simulation results in a 1MHz analog CMOS Gm/C band-pass filter are given. This new method has two advantages, First, it uses an easier to make, step test signal, instead of an exact single frequency sine test signal which is more difficult to make. Second, a simple and small analog hardware is used. It is more suitable for high-Q filters. The major drawback of our method is lower measurement accuracy in medium and low quality-factor filters.

The design and simulation of a novel CMOS voltage mode WTA (Winner-take-all) circuit is described. The circuit employs additional inhibitory and local excitatory feedback based on a common voltage computation and this improves both speed and precision drastically. As a result, a single stage cell provides better resolution in comparison to previous works where cascading of multiple stages is necessary to improve resolution. This makes the circuit suitable for systems where silicon area and power consumption are constraints. Moreover, the feedback arrangement ensures a single winner. Simulations in Cadence show that a single cell can resolve voltage differences as small as 0.5 mV in around 30ns with 1 pF load capacitance. Detailed simulation results along with appropriate mathematical relations have been provided. This circuit is a fundamental building block in the competitive layer of self organizing neural networks, non linear filters, fuzzy and neuromorphic systems.

This paper presents an intonation description language for the prosodic control implementation into a TtS system for Romanian. The prosodic description implies the decomposing of the F0 contours into of functional elementary melodic contours sequences. In our view the accentual units are considered as elementary melodic contours because they contain elementary tonal contrasts to which labels with communicative signification may be assigned. After the label set presentation from the third section, in the fourth section we exemplify how our description language could be used to annotate and generate the F0 contours.

This paper investigates a family of improved Nyquist filters derived from a modified piece-wise rectangular frequency characteristic. They produce a family of ISI-free pulses with an asymptotic decay rate of t−2 that shows comparable or better ISI performance with regard to some recently proposed pulses. The frequency characteristic is composed of twelve linear segments, each defined by two points. The coordinate of the points are selected in order for the filter to result in a minimum value of the probability of error when sampled with a small time offset. The results are comparable or outperform the polynomial pulse [4] taken as a reference.

We analyze the lossless compression for a large class of discrete complete and memoryless sources performed by a generalized Huffman with an alphabet consisting of M letters. Given the number of source messages, N, the alphabet size, M, and the number of code words, p, on each level in the graph, excepting the last two ones, we have determined the unknown encoding parameters, that is, the number n of the levels in the encoding graph, the number q of code words on the level n-1, the number k of groups of M nodes, and the remaining m nodes on the last level. The average code word length is also computed. Two extreme cases, when p=0 and p=M-1 have been analyzed.

An efficient Network on Chip (NoC) is proposed for the data communication of multispectral image analysis algorithms on an adaptive architecture. A Butterfly Fat Tree (BFT) topology is used in this NoC on FPGA. Since there are large amount of data with different sizes in the NoC, Virtual Channels (VC) with flit packet-switching is chosen. Two versions of the NoC are presented in this paper. The results of the implementations on Altera StratixII and Xilinx Virtex4 are analyzed. It is shown that the required resources are similar but the frequency on Xilinx is much faster than on Altera.

Nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) is a radio frequency spectroscopic technique that can be used to detect solid-state compounds containing quadrupolar nuclei, a requirement fulfilled by most high explosives (and narcotics). In this paper, we present an overview of recent research in the detection of explosives using this technique. We also present mathematical models for the data for different acquistion techniques and discuss different state of the art detection algorithms. Finally, we evaluate various algorithms on measured and simulated NQR data.

In this paper a new method for the design automation of the folded-cascode operational amplifier is proposed. In this method the design of the amplifier is introduced as a multiobjective optimization strategy and a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) is utilized for solving the optimization problem in CMOS technology. The proposed method is a model free algorithm and doesn't need the accurate analytic formulas of the amplifier. It provides a set of solutions rather than a single solution and reveals the trade-offs between the conflicting objectives.
