The paper shows the relationship between the analogue analysis filter bank and its discrete equivalent counterparts. Equivalence conditions have been determined and a new method of approximation of filter characteristics has been demonstrated. It limits the number of FIR filter coefficients necessary to implement a synthesis filter bank. This is an extremely important aspect from a practical point of view, because it allows the implementation of a synthesis filter bank in programmable VLSI circuits. A rigorous method of testing the HFB system during a design process using dedicated band-pass signals has also been developed.","PeriodicalId":399741,"journal":{"name":"2020 Signal Processing Workshop (SPW)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122056304","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}

Mazurek","doi":"10.23919/SPW49079.2020.9259133","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23919/SPW49079.2020.9259133","url":null,"abstract":"The use of small and low-power general-purpose Software Defined Radio (SDR) receivers seems to be a very attractive solution in the context of moving platform for multichannel RF signal acquisition, required in Passive Coherent Location (PCL), passive SAR, and digital beamforming. These receivers, however, are designed mainly for single-channel operation and additional hardware components and software algorithms are required to perform coherent signal acquisition. A simple calibration procedure for time shifts and phase offsets, based on cross-correlation between the signals with superimposed training sequences, has been already presented as a solution. However, the results of processing the real signals acquired in the field have shown that this simple method cannot be applied in case of receiving strong signals from the antennas due to misleading phase offset estimates. In this paper, we propose a more advanced algorithm of estimation that employs matched filtering. This method has been validated by processing hours of four-channel recordings with DAB, DVB-T, and FM broadcast signals prepared for PCL processing.","PeriodicalId":399741,"journal":{"name":"2020 Signal Processing Workshop (SPW)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126602422","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}
