Methods and Tools for Computer-aided Design of Multidimensional Filters in Signal Processing

Understand and apply the tools of computer-aided design to analog signal processing Signal processing is done mostly with digital circuits, but because the signals generated by our environment are themselves analog, some incorporation of analog circuitry is unavoidable. The design and construction of analog circuits is difficult and time-consuming out of all proportion to the number and prominence of these circuits in signal processing systems. In recent years, groundbreaking computer-aided tools have emerged to facilitate and hasten the design of these circuits. Methods and Tools for Computer-aided Design of Multidimensional Filters in Signal Processing offers an introduction to these tools and their applications. It will focus particularly on VHDL, the most popular language used to describe hardware, and an essential tool in presenting circuits which are too complex to present graphically. Offering a design method based in C++ and a variety of techniques for fabricating integrated circuits, this is a must-own volume for researchers and engineers working on signal processing methods. Methods and Tools for Computer-aided Design of Multidimensional Filters in Signal Processing readers will also find: A design strategy based on gyrator-capacitor circuits as prototype filtersOptions for implementing circuits as either continuous or discrete time filtersConcrete example of a filter implemented in SI technique Methods and Tools for Computer-aided Design of Multidimensional Filters in Signal Processing is ideal for researchers working on signal processing, as well as engineers, programmers, and other experts developing computer tools for filter design.
