Use of frequency response masking technique in designing A/D converter for SDR.January 2005 (has links)
Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are required in almost all signal processing and communication
systems. They are often the most critical components, since they tend to determine the overall system
performance. Hence, it is important to determine their performance limitations and develop improved
realizations. One of the most challenging tasks for realizing software defined radio (SDR) is to move ND
conversion as close to the antenna as possible, this implies that the ADC has to sample the incoming
signal with a very high sample rate (over 100 MSample/s) and with a very high resolution (14 -to -16 bits).
To design and implement AID converters with such high performance, it is necessary to investigate new
designing techniques.
The focus in this work is on a particular type of potentially high-performance (high-resolution and highspeed)
analog-to-digital conversion technique, utilizing filter banks, where two or more ADCs are used in
the converter array in parallel together with asymmetric filter banks. The hybrid filter bank analog-todigital
converter (HFB ADC) utilizes analog filters (analysis filters) to allocate a frequency band to each
ADC in a converter array and digital synthesis filters to reconstruct the digitized signal. The HFB
improves the speed and resolution of the conversion, in comparison to the standard time-interleaving
technique by attenuating the effect of gain and phase mismatches between the ADCs.
Many of the designs available in the literature are compromising between some metrics: design
complexity, order of the filter bank (computation time) and the sharpness of the frequency response rolloff
(the transition from the pass band to the stop band).
In this dissertation, five different classes of near perfect magnitude reconstruction (NPMR) continuoustime
hybrid filter banks (CT HFBs) are proposed. In each of the five cases, two filter banks are designed;
analysis filter bank and synthesis filter bank. Since the systems are hybrid, continuous time IlR filter are
used to implement the analysis filter bank and digital filters are used for the synthesis filter bank. To
optimize the system, we used a new technique, known in the literature as frequency response masking
(FRM), to design the synthesis filter bank. In this technique, the sharp roll-off characteristics can be
achieved while keeping the complexity of the filter within practical range, this is done by splitting the
filter into two filters in cascade; model filter with relaxed roll-off characteristics followed by a masking
filter.
One of the main factors controlling the overall complexity of the filter is the way of designing the model
filter and that of designing the masking filter.
The dissertation proposes three combinations: use of HR model filter and IlR masking filter, HR model
filter/FIR masking filter and FIR model filter/FIR masking filter. To show the advantages of our designs,
we considered the cases of designing the synthesis filter as one filter, either FIR or IlR. These two filters
are used as base for comparison with our proposed designs (the use of masking response filter). The results showed the following:
1. Asymmetric hybrid filter banks alone are not sufficient for filters with sharp frequency response
roll-off especially for HR/FIR class.
2. All classes that utilize FRM in their synthesis filter banks gave a good performance in general in
comparison to conventional classes, such as the reduction of the order of filters
3. HR/HR FRM gave better performance than HR/FIR FRM.
4. Comparing HR/HR FRM using FIR masking filters and HR/IIR FRM using IIR masking filters,
the latter gave better performance (the performance is generally measured in terms of reduced
filter order).
5. All classes that use the FRM approach have a very low complexity, in terms of reduced filter
order. Our target was to design a system with the following overall characteristics: pass band
ripple of -0.01 dB, stop band minimum attenuation of - 40 dB and of response roll-off of 0.002.
Our calculations showed that the order of the conventional IIR/FIR filter that achieves such
characteristics is aboutN =2000. Using the FRM technique, the order N reduced to
aboutN = 244, N = 179 for IIRJFIR and IIR/IIR classes, respectively. This shows that the
technique is very effective in reducing the filter complexity.
6. The magnitude distortion and the aliasing noise are calculated for each design proposal and
compared with the theoretical values. The comparisons show that all our proposals result in
approximately perfect magnitude reconstruction (NPMR).
In conclusion, our proposal of using frequency-response masking technique to design the synthesis filter
bank can, to large extent, reduce the complexity of the system. The design of the system as a whole is
simplified by designing the synthesis filter bank separately from the design of the analysis filter bank. In
this case each bank is optimized separately. This implies that for SDR applications we are proposing the
use of the continuous-time HFB ADC (CT HFB ADC) structure utilizing FRM for digital filters. / Thesis (M.Sc.Eng.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2005.

Fixed-analysis adaptive-synthesis filter banksLettsome, Clyde Alphonso 07 April 2009 (has links)
Subband/Wavelet filter analysis-synthesis filters are a major component in many compression algorithms. Such compression algorithms have been applied to images, voice, and video. These algorithms have achieved high performance. Typically, the configuration for such compression algorithms involves a bank of analysis filters whose coefficients have been designed in advance to enable high quality reconstruction. The analysis system is then followed by subband quantization and decoding on the synthesis side. Decoding is performed using a corresponding set of synthesis filters and the subbands are merged together. For many years, there has been interest in improving the analysis-synthesis filters in order to achieve better coding quality. Adaptive filter banks have been explored by a number of authors where by the analysis filters and synthesis filters coefficients are changed dynamically in response to the input. A degree of performance improvement has been reported but this approach does require that the analysis system dynamically maintain synchronization with the synthesis system in order to perform reconstruction.
In this thesis, we explore a variant of the adaptive filter bank idea. We will refer to this approach as fixed-analysis adaptive-synthesis filter banks. Unlike the adaptive filter banks proposed previously, there is no analysis synthesis synchronization issue involved. This implies less coder complexity and more coder flexibility. Such an approach can be compatible with existing subband wavelet encoders. The design methodology and a performance analysis are presented.
