LINEAR-PHASE FIR AUDIO FILTER, PRODUCTION METHOD AND SIGNAL PROCESSOR
The invention relates to a method for producing a linear-phase digital FIR filter (4) from two sub-filters (6a, b) for an audio signal (AU, AF), in which method the sub-filters (6a, b) are provided as sub-sets (Ta, b) having numbers (Ma, b) of coefficients, a lower cutoff frequency (Ga, b) of the particular sub-filter (6a, b) being greater than the sampling frequency of the audio signal (AU, AF) divided by the number (Ma, b), the sub-sets (Ta, b) are linearly convoluted with one another so as to form a total set (SU) having a number (L) of coefficients greater than the numbers (Ma, b), and the total set (SU) is symmetrically reduced to a number (Z) less than the number (L), so as to form a reduced total set (SK) of the filter (4). A linear-phase digital FIR filter (4) for an audio signal (AU, AF) is created by the method. A signal processor (2) for an audio signal (AU, AF) contains the filter (4).

SIGNAL PROCESSING APPARATUS, SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM
A Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter is configured to minimize delay and maximize passband power by adjusting the filter coefficients applied to the sampled values. The FIR filter obtains an input signal and samples the input signal to generate a set of sampled input values. The FIR filter generates a set of filter coefficients, with each filter coefficient based on a corresponding sampled input value in the set of sample input values. The FIR filter selects a subset of sampled input values that have been most recently sampled from the input signal, and selects a subset of filter coefficients corresponding to sampled input values that are not the most recently sampled. The subset of sampled input values is combined with the subset of filter coefficients to generate an output value for the FIR filter.
BANDWIDTH CONFIGURABLE SIGNAL SERVER
A digital signal processor is designed to channelize an input signal, and includes a channelizer circuit and a plurality of tuning modules. The channelizer circuit is designed to receive an input signal having a first bandwidth and to channelize the input signal into a first set of channels each having a bandwidth smaller than the first bandwidth as a first output signal and to channelize the input signal into a second set of channels having a bandwidth smaller than the first bandwidth as a second output signal. The plurality of tuning modules are designed to receive one or more channels from the first output signal or the second output signal and to further downsample the one or more channels to a user-defined bandwidth at a user-defined center frequency. Each of the plurality of tuning modules include a plurality of FIR filter blocks and a memory having a plurality of FIR filter coefficients.
BEAMFORMING REPEATERS WITH DIGITALLY ASSISTED INTERFERENCE MITIGATION
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide a repeater for beamforming a received signal at a millimeter wave (mmW) radio frequency via one or more scan angles or beamforming directions and then retransmitting and beamforming the signal at the mmW radio frequency. Repeaters may include analog and digital components for downconverting on the received signal to reduce a frequency of the signal from the mmW frequency to an intermediate frequency (IF) or baseband frequency, and then filtering the downconverted signal to reduce interference. The filtering may include digital filtering or a combination of analog and digital filtering, in which a set of filter coefficients for the digital filtering is selected based on beamforming parameters used to receive the signal, retransmit the signal, or both. The repeater may then upconvert the filtered signal back to the mmW frequency for the retransmission of the signal.
Method and device for controlling fir filter
A method for controlling an FIR filter that processes sound signals based on setting of a band filter includes receiving, from a user, an instruction for control data that indicate a gain parameter of an amplitude characteristic corresponding to a transfer function represented as a function of angular frequency, generating a first amplitude characteristic that is an amplitude characteristic of the band filter, as a basis of an amplitude characteristic of the FIR filter, in accordance with the control data, receiving an instruction for a gain limit value from the user, limiting a gain curve of the first amplitude characteristic so as to be within the gain limit value that has been instructed, thereby acquiring a second amplitude characteristic, and setting filter coefficients of the FIR filter based on the second amplitude characteristic.
Signal removal to examine a spectrum of another signal
A method for removing an extracted RF signal to examine a spectrum of at least one other RF signal includes receiving a mixture signal by an ADC. The mixture signal includes a plurality of separate signals from different signal sources. The mixture signal is digitized by the ADC. A first digitized signal and a second digitized signal are generated that are the same. The first digitized signal is delayed a predetermined time delay and the second digitized signal is processed in a neuromorphic signal processor to extract an extracted signal. The predetermined time delay corresponds to a delay embedding in the neuromorphic signal processor. A phase delay and amplitude of the extracted signal is adjusted based on a phase delay and amplitude of the first digitized signal. An adjusted extracted signal is cancelled from the first digitized signal to provide an input examination signal for examination.
ESTIMATION OF THE AMPLITUDE OF A PERIODIC COMPONENT IN A MEASURED SIGNAL THROUGH A DELTA-SIGMA MODULATOR
A method for estimating amplitude of a periodic component in a measured signal, wherein the method comprises the following operations: performing a delta-sigma modulation on a received analog signal to obtain a digital signal; applying at least one filter to the digital signal and to a first periodic signal to estimate a first amplitude signal representative of the first periodic signal in the digital signal.
The method further comprises a control operation of: adapting a control law of an external entity based on at least the first amplitude signal; or calculating a monitoring value based on at least the first amplitude signal.
