This paper presents a novel approach for the design of infinite impulse response (IIR) switched-capacitor (SC) filters, based on the optimum allocation of poles and zeros of a transfer function. This approach is aimed at the reduction of sensitivity in the passband and improved phase linearity. Comparisons with classical filter designs are made. An illustrative design example of a proposed low-pass IIR SC filter structure is presented along with experimental results obtained from a prototype filter built and tested in the laboratory.

This paper presents the design trade-offs to implement an integrated CMOS quadrature oscillator based on a differential VCO and a differential-to-quadrature converting poly-phase filter. Both the traditional structure, with cascaded building blocks and the appropriate inter circuit buffers, and the merged version, without buffering, are discussed. In the latest, the excessive power consumption in the intermediate buffers is avoided. It is explained how the effect of the poly-phase filter on the phase noise performance of the VCO, can be taken into account in the design, resulting in an optimal trade-off between the overall power consumption and the phase-noise of the quadrature oscillation generator.

A 2-V 900-MHz downconversion mixer to be used in a single-chip CMOS receiver is presented. The mixer is based on a Gilbert cell but uses two source-followers as current modulators rather than a common-source input stage in order to support low-voltage operation and to improve the linearity. Two prototypes have been made for different design trade-off. The first mixer prototype achieves a measured conversion gain of -8 dB and an IIP3 of 26 dBm with a power consumption of 1.5 mW from a 3-V supply. The second prototype has a measured conversion gain of -2 dB, a noise figure (NF) of 22 dB and an IIP3 of 6 dBm with a power consumption of 3 mW from a single 2-V supply.

The in-place path metric updating is a well-known technique for efficiently dealing with the management of path metric memory in Viterbi decoders. In this paper, we present a simple but efficient technique to partition the path metric memory into 2/sup i/ banks and then distribute a set of path metrics into scheduled add compare select (ACS) units. Results show that applying the presented scheduling technique the equivalent memory bandwidth can be increased with limited hardware overhead. The resulting architecture has the following characteristics: (1) the interconnection overhead between ACS units and the memory bank structure can be significantly reduced, (2) the control circuit is regular and the implementation can be derived in a systematic way. Therefore, the architecture can be easily applied to handle the convolutional code with a long constraint length and it is suitable to be implemented in VLSI applications.

For pt. I see ibid., vol.4, p.93-6 (May 2000). We model some queuing systems arising in guaranteed service networks (such as RSVP/IP or ATM) as nonlinear min-plus systems that can be bounded by linear systems. We apply this method to the window flow control problem previously studied by Chang (1997), Agrawal and Rajan (1996), to the optimal smoothing of video through a network offering guaranteed service. We revisit the greedy shaper, and we also show how the same method enables us to compute the losses in a shaper by modelling it as a linear min-plus system. Finally, we describe the time-varying shaper.

In this paper, we propose the new two-dimensional (2-D) systolic-array structures of IIR/FIR digital filters without global broadcast by the different derivation and another systolic transformation. For more practical considerations, we further provide a detailed block diagram of a 2-D FIR filter using a recently proposed multiplier to reduce the roundoff quantization error in the logic-gate level. These proposed systolic structures amenable to VLSI implementation permit the 2-D input sequence to be scanned in row-wise mode and locally broadcast one value each clock per delay element.

A new waveform bounding algorithm to obtain an upper and lower waveform bound of the time response of a class of RLC circuits is presented. The algorithm produces a sequence of waveforms which converge to the true solution monotonically from above and below. The key step is the choice of the initial guess in the relaxation process. A new method to obtain an initial guess that guarantees monotonic convergence is given. Numerical examples are included to confirm the theoretical results.

The development of scalable service models for integrated services networks is crucial for fostering interoperability and competition among multiple network service providers that support quality of service. A key scalability property of a service model is composability, which allows models for network elements in tandem to be lumped together into a composite model which is of the same type as the constituent service models. We present a new service model for lossy network elements, and show that it is composable. To illustrate the new service model, we characterize some fundamental network elements in terms of it.

This paper presents a compound neural network model, i.e., adaptive neurofuzzy network (ANFN), which can be used for identifying the complicated nonlinear system. The proposed ANFN has a simple structure and exploits a hybrid algorithm combining supervised learning and unsupervised learning. In addition, ANFN is capable of overcoming the error of system identification due to the existence of some changing points and improving the accuracy of identification of the whole system. The effectiveness of the model and its algorithm is tested on the identification results of missile attacking area.

Limitations of existing approaches for symbolic analysis of large analog circuits are discussed. To address their solution, a new methodology for hierarchical symbolic analysis is introduced. The combination of a hierarchical modeling technique and approximation strategies, comprising circuit reduction, graph-based symbolic solution of circuit equations and matrix-based error control, provides optimum results in terms of speech and quality of results.
