Filter that minimizes in-band noise and maximizes detection sensitivity of exponentially-modulated signals
Trans-filter/Detectors are extremely sensitive circuits that recover exponentially modulated signals buried in noise. They can be used wherever Matched Filter/Coherent Detectors are used and operate at negative input signal-to-noise ratios to recover RADAR, SONAR, communications, or data signals, as well as reduce phase noise of precision oscillators. Input signal and noise is split into two paths where complementary derivatives are extracted. Outputs of the two paths are equal in amplitude and 180 degrees relative to each other at the band center frequency. The outputs are summed, causing stationary in-band noise to be reduced by cancellation while exponentially modulated signals are undiminished. Trans-filters are Linear Time Invariant circuits, have no noise x noise threshold and can be cascaded, increasing output signal-to-noise ratio prior to detection. Trans-filters are most sensitive to all types of digital modulation, producing easily detected polarized pulses synchronous with data transitions. Trans-filters do not require coherent conversion oscillators and complex synchronizing circuits.

LOW LATENCY AUDIO FILTERBANK HAVING IMPROVED FREQUENCY RESOLUTION
A filterbank, suitable for modifying audio signals with dynamic gains in each band, is constructed so that the perceived latency is small, while a larger group delay is applied at low frequencies to enable higher frequency resolution in the lower frequency bands. The higher group delay at low frequencies is achieved by inserting an all-pass filter into the reconstructed filter response.
