基于序列锥规划方法的群延时约束等纹波有限冲激响应数字滤波器优化设计

有限冲激响应数字滤波器(FIR)的优化设计理论,一般是使设计的FIR滤波器频率响应与期望滤波器频率响应之间的误差最小并通过优化技术进行求解.但是已有的这些方法大都关注于通带和阻带内的幅频特性,而对于非线性群延时约束考虑较少,因此对于群延时要求较高的应用场合,这些方法是不适用的.该文提出了一种群延时约束的等纹波有限冲激响应数字滤波器设计新方法,该方法主要思想是采用泰勒级数近似将带有非线性群延时约束条件的原等纹波滤波器优化设计问题在好的初始迭代点附近转化为序列二阶锥规划子问题进行求解,较好的解决了对群延时要求较高的问题.仿真结果表明,该方法可以有效的减小滤波器群延时误差,最小化通带和阻带纹波,提高了滤波器的优化设计性能.

Convex optimization based beam-space preprocessing with improved robustness against out-of-sector sources

Beam-space data preprocessing is a powerful tool commonly used in array processing to reduce the computational burden and improve the performance of high-resolution direction-finding algorithms. However, currently used beam-space techniques appear to lack robustness in the presence of sources that are located outside the beam-space angular sectors-of-interest. In this paper, a new approach to beam-space preprocessing with an improved robustness against such out-of-sector interfering sources is developed. Our techniques design the beam-space matrix filter based on proper tradeoffs between the in-sector (passband) source distortion and out-of-sector (stopband) source attenuation. Computationally efficient convex formulations for these beam-space matrix filter design problems are derived using second-order cone (SOC) programming.

A computer-aided synthesis technique for E-plane bandpass filters with improved stopband performance is developed. An optimization procedure based on equal ripple optimization is adopted. The design of a symmetrical E-plane bandpass filter with improved stopband performance is considered; higher order mode interaction between E-plane discontinuities is included in the design. The predicted filter performance shows improved stopband performance and reduced filter dimensions compared with conventional E-plane bandpass filters. The validity of the method is confirmed by the measurement of a fabricated five resonator E-plane bandpass filter with improved stopband performance     

Design of Constrained Causal Stable IIR Filters Using a New Second- Order-Cone-Programming-Based Model-Reduction Technique

This brief proposes a new method for designing infinite-impulse response (IIR) filter with peak error and prescribed flatness constraints. It is based on the model reduction of a finite-impulse response function that satisfies the specification by extending a method previously proposed by Brandenstein. The proposed model-reduction method retains the denominator of the conventional techniques and formulates the optimal design of the numerator as a second-order cone programming problem. Therefore, linear and convex quadratic inequalities such as peak error constraints and prescribed number of zeros at the stopband for IIR filters can be imposed and solved optimally. Moreover, a method is proposed to express the denominator of the model-reduced IIR filter as a polynomial in integer power of z, which efficiently facilitates its polyphase implementation in multirate applications. Design examples show that the proposed method gives better performance, and more flexibility in incorporating a wide variety of constraints than conventional methods     

Symmetric Orthogonal Complex-Valued Filter Bank Design by Semidefinite Programming

A new design method for complex-valued two-channel finite impulse response (FIR) filter banks with both orthogonality and symmetry properties is developed. Based on a novel linear matrix inequality (LMI) characterization of trigonometric curves, the optimal design of perfect-reconstruction filter banks is cast into a semidefinite programming (SDP) problem. The dimension of the resulting SDP problem is further reduced by exploiting convex duality. Consequently, the globally optimal solution can be found for any practical filter length and desired regularity order.

Miniaturised wide stopband rejected microstrip filter with coupled spur-lines

The miniaturised wide stopband rejected microstrip filter is proposed. In order to cause the wide stopband suppression, coupled spur-lines are taken into consideration for the newly proposed bandpass filter. The coupled spur-lines can provide an attenuation pole at the second harmonic to enhance the suppression and broaden the stopband. Design methods are also introduced, and the measurement of the fabricated example is presented for validating the filter configuration.     

A Wideband and High Rejection Multimode Bandpass Filter Using Stub Perturbation

A novel multimode bandpass filter with high and wide rejection band is proposed by using an open stub. The open-stub has two functions in the filter: (1) perturbation for the multimode operation and (2) zero point generation at the stopband for the stopband control. With proper input/output coupling, additional two poles, i.e., four poles, can be generated for the proposed filter structure. The design is then verified by experiment. The single structure four-mode filter has low insertion loss, good stopband performance, and compact size and linear phase.     

Pseudo-elliptic microstrip line filters with zero-shifting properties

The paper presents a new design of pseudo-elliptic microstrip line filters. These filters employ a coupling scheme which allows shifting of transmission zeros from one side of the passband to the other by only changing the resonant frequencies of the resonators. To demonstrate the performance of these filters, a fourth-order bandpass filter with one transmission zero in the upper stopband is first designed. A second filter with a transmission zero in the lower stopband is then designed by simply adjusting the lengths of the resonators followed by minor optimization to account for the fact that the resonant frequencies can not be changed without slightly affecting the coupling coefficients in the used layout. Measured and simulated results are presented.
