    Impact of RNS coding overhead on FIR filters performance

    No full text
    In this paper a design space exploration for FIR filter implementations in Residue Number System (RNS) is presented. The exploration regards different aspects of the RNS FIR filter design such as the dynamic range, the overhead due to the coding of the RNS base with respect to the application dynamic range, and delay-area tradeoffs. The design space exploration and its results, are helpful in evaluating the effects of the RNS coding overhead and to choose an efficient filter architecture trading-off filter order, dynamic range, clock frequency and area. © 2007 IEEE

    Hardware implementation of an echo-canceller for DVB-T on-channel repeaters

    The necessity to obtain a better area coverage for services such as terrestrial digital television (DVB-T) is often obtained by using isofrequency channel repeaters. In this case the repeater receives at the input part of the transmitted signal and consequently an echo canceller is requested. The echo canceller is often based on a loop comprising a complex FIR filter with variable coefficients, that are calculated from the autocorrelation function of the received signal. In this paper, a hardware implementation of an Echo-canceller is presented. A board based on a Texas Instruments floating-point DSP and an Altera Cyclone II FPGA has been used for the final prototype. © 2007 IEEE

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
