With the constant downward price pressure on consumer electronics devices, one area that typically gets compromised is audio quality. This compromise is often reflected by the manufacturers' choice of ...

Previous columns have described how analog and switched-capacitors filters work and provided a real example of each. Now on to digital filters that process discrete-time digital values, rather than ...

Across a range of applications, the two most common functions implemented in FPGA-based high-performance signal processing are finite impulse response (FIR) filters and fast Fourier transforms (FFTs).

In this paper, we first review in detail the basic building blocks of reconfigurable devices, essentially, the field-programmable gate arrays, then we describes a high-speed, reconfigurable Systolic ...

Let’s say you chose a particular microcontroller for its 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC). You built up your system, and although the ADC gives you 12 bits of resolution, the lower couple of ...
