Design of high-resolution cosine-modulated transmultiplexers with sharp transition band

Due to the growing importance of multichannel modulation, there has been great interest in the design of high-performance transmultiplex systems. In this paper, a new cosine-modulated transmultiplex structure is proposed based on a prototype filter designed with the frequency-response masking (FRM) approach. This new structure leads to substantial reduction in the computational complexity (number of multiplications per output sample) of the prototype filters having sharp transition band and equivalently small roll-off values. The relation between the interpolation factor used in the FRM prototype filter and the decimation factor in the subbands leads to distinct structures. Examples included indicate that the reduction in computational complexity can be higher than 50% of the current state-of-art designs, whereas the reduction on the number of distinct coefficients of the prototype filter can be reduced even further (over 75%). As a result, the proposed approach allows the design of very selective subfilters for transmultiplexes with a very large number of subchannels.     

Design of Wide-Band, Sharp-Rejection Bandpass Filters With Parallel-Coupled Lines

An edge-coupled quarter wavelength resonator and half-wavelength open stubs are used for designing a highly selective wideband bandpass filter (BPF). A homogeneous medium is considered and the even-odd mode approach is used for filter analysis. Next, a microstrip line implementation procedure is described. The filter has sharp rejection, wide stopband, low insertion loss (IL), and fabrication simplicity. A prototype BPF having 69.5% 3-dB fractional bandwidth (FBW) is fabricated. A simple stub modification extends the upper 20-dB stopband to five times that of the filter upper cutoff frequency. Passband IL is within 1.6dB     

Reconfigurable filter bank structures for low complexity digital channelizer using fractional interpolation and MFIR filters with cosine modulation

A low complexity digital reconfigurable filter bank structure which is suitable for digital channelizers in software defined radio is proposed in this paper. In order to get a sharp transition width with low hardware complexity, multiplicative finite impulse response (MFIR) filter is used as the prototype filter in the proposed structure. A masking stage and a channel generation stage constitute the two stages of the proposed structure. In the masking stage, 5 sub-bands are generated by performing cosine modulation technique on the prototype filter. In the channel generation stage, different channels are generated by doing spectral addition/subtraction operations on the interpolated versions of the MFIR filter. Hence, the basic techniques used in the proposed structure are, cosine modulation and fractional interpolation technique. By adjusting a 3-bit control signal, different regions and channels, generated by the two stages, can be obtained. The proposed structure has a hardware complexity, which is much lesser than that of the state-of-the art techniques used for SDR channelizers. The number of channels generated using the proposed structure is also more. The main advantage of the proposed structure is that the hardware complexity of the proposed structure remains the same even if the number of channels is increased.

Design of Computationally Efficient Sharp FIR Filter Utilizing Modified Multistage FRM Technique for Wireless Communications Systems

Modern wireless communications gadgets demand multi-standard communications facilities with least overlap between different input radio channels. A sharp digital filter of extremely narrow transition-width with lower stop band ripples offers alias-free switching among the preferred frequency bands. A computationally competent low pass filter (LPF) structure based on the multistage frequency response masking (FRM) approach is proposed for the design of sharp finite impulse response (FIR) filters which are suitable for wireless communications applications. In comparison of basic FRM with other existing multistage FRM structures, the proposed structure has a narrow transition bandwidth and higher stop band attenuation with significant reduction in terms of the number of computational steps. A design example is incorporated to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach. Simulation results establish the improvement of the proposed scheme over other recently published design strategies.     

Optimized Prototype Filter Based on the FRM Approach for Cosine-Modulated Filter Banks

A design procedure for frequency-response masking (FRM) prototype filters of cosine-modulated filter banks (CMFBs) is proposed. In the given method, we perform minimization of the maximum attenuation level in the filters stopband, subject to intersymbol interference (ISI) and intercarrier interference (ICI) constraints. For optimization, a quasi-Newton algorithm with line search is used, and we provide simplified analytical expressions to impose the interference constraints, which greatly reduce the computational complexity of the optimization procedure. The result is lower levels of ISI and ICI for a predetermined filter order, or a reduced filter complexity for given levels of interferences. It is then illustrated how the FRM-CMFB structure is suitable for implementing filter banks with a large number of bands, yielding sharp transition bands and small roll-off factors, which is an attractive feature for a wide range of practical applications.

Microstrip Coupled-Line Lowpass Filter with Wide Stopband for RF/Wireless Systems

We present the design of a compact microstrip lowpass filter with a wide stopband which is up to ten times the cutoff frequency. The filter is based on a coupled-line configuration and shunt open stubs. The open stubs create additional transmission zeros, which are used to extend the stopband of the filter without any additional components or cascaded units. A prototype lowpass filter with a 3 dB cutoff frequency of 0.428 GHz and a 15 dB stopband extended up to 4.77 GHz is fabricated to validate the theoretical predictions.     

Reconfigurable channel filtering and digital down conversion in optimal CSD space for software defined radio

Software defined radio (SDR) is a platform for using the same hardware to support multiple wireless communication standards. The channelizer in the SDR is used to separate the channels from the wideband signal. The features required for using the same hardware to switch between different standards are reconfigurability and low complexity. To achieve this, we use a variable bandwidth filter (VBF) with facility for the reduction and enhancement of the bandwidth, without changing the filter coefficients. This paper proposes an optimal and multiplier-less implementation of a baseband channel filter for supporting the bandwidth requirements of various wireless communication standards. This paper also discusses the concept for using it as a multi-band SDR channelizer for the direct conversion of signals from a wideband input to the baseband signal without using an intermediate stage. Frequency response masking (FRM) filter with continuous coefficients is designed and modified harmony search algorithm is used for finding the optimal canonic signed digit representation for the multiplier-less implementation. This reduces the complexity and power consumption. The VBF with the optimized FRM filter is evaluated for the selectable bandwidths starting from 1.25 to 8 MHz, which covers the bandwidth requirements of a wide range of wireless communication standards.
