First, we generalize a previously proposed technique that was restricted to 5-moduli set such that it becomes applicable to any RNS with the set of relatively prime integer moduli {mi}i=1,n. Next, we simplify the computing procedure by maximizing the utilization of the modulo-mi adders and multipliers present in the RNS functional units. For an n-digit RNS number X = (x1; x2; x3; ....; xn) the proposed method takes at most n iterations. Each iteration requires one parallel subtractions and 2 multiplications except the first one. This scheme results in an RNS to MRC with an asymptotic complexity, in terms of arithmetic operations, in the order of O(n), while the traditional MRC technique exhibits an asymptotic complexity in the order of O (n2). In particular, the utilization of our technique, for 3-moduli and 10-moduli RNS results in the reduction of the total number of arithmetic operations required by the conversion process with 13:33% and 66:05%, respectively, when compared to state of the art MRC.","PeriodicalId":344917,"journal":{"name":"APCCAS 2008 - 2008 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123955410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The bandpass filter based on WR22 waveguide is first presented. Specifically, the measured in-band insertion loss is around 0.4 dB, and the rejection of lower sideband is better than 34 dB. To further reduce the circuit size and to ease the integration with other MMICs in the receiver, a planar filter design based on GaAs process is also demonstrated.

In this paper, a new approach for approximately identifying the topology of a complex network is proposed based on the state observer design only using a scalar coupling signal. Unlike the other methods assuming that the dynamics of the network can be described by a linear stochastic model, or using states of the nodes to design an adaptive observer, we use the output variable to design a state observer to approximately identify the topology of a complex network and monitor any changes of the topology structure.","PeriodicalId":344917,"journal":{"name":"APCCAS 2008 - 2008 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128458245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
