The rate of the adaptation of the modified algorithm is n times as fast as the conventional LMS algorithm with the same control gain, where n is the number of iterations for each piece of sampled data in the network. However, the computational complexity of the algorithm increased. In the modified algorithm, the coefficients can be computed independently. Therefore, parallel array processing such as a systolic array is available. The systolic array consists of one kind of processing element, and the processing element consists on one multiplier, one adder, and one memory. The number of the processing element is the same as the order of the adaptive filter. The computation time for updating the coefficients of the adaptive filter is (L+1)n in time steps, where L is the number of coefficients of the adaptive filter and n is the number of iterations in the network.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6453,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 34th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"44 1","pages":"87-90 vol.1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73658470","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}

An original upper frequency of 2 MHz has been extended to 20 MHz using high-frequency compensation techniques. The Y-parameters were measured at 3.0 MHz and used in the Linville power plane to determine the input and output power curves. Two techniques for enhancing the system response have been investigated. In the mismatch method, a stem stability factor was chosen to keep the system stability over a wide band of frequencies. The neutralization method in which the intrinsic feedback parameter Y/sub 12/ is neutralized is discussed. While both methods show acceptable stability improvements, the mismatch method is used because it does not require an additional transformer to the system. The video amplifier LM733 driven by the N-channel BFR84 MOSFET has been used for demonstration.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6453,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 34th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"26 1","pages":"863-865 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72600579","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 difficulty in using this topology for a series capacitor stems from the fact that small internal radii produce small series capacitances, unless a very small gap size is used. The sensitivity of the series capacitance to errors in gap size increases with smaller gaps and makes this topology useless in this respect. To alleviate this problem a topology is proposed which consists of two additional disks added to the gap, thus providing a new parameter to adjust, the disk radius, that together with the gap size permits a better (less sensitive) method to synthesize a given series capacitance.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6453,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 34th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"735-738 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76601347","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}
