No restriction on the network topology is required. Multicoupled structures in inhomogeneous media occur frequently in microwave circuits, especially in integrated circuits. The effect of different mode propagation can easily be taken into consideration. Illustrative examples of microstrip circuits are analyzed. The derived formulas have been incorporated in computer-aided procedures for the analysis of lumped/distributed networks in the frequency and time domain. The developed program incorporating the state and output equations can deal with any number of coupled transmission lines in inhomogeneous media.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6453,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 34th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"95 1","pages":"1069-1072 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79177623","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}

This implementation is based on using the LMS adaptive algorithm to implement the DFT (discrete Fourier transform) part of the frequency-domain LMS adaptive filter. Numerical issues are also discussed. This is significant in this implementation because the performance of the frequency-domain LMS adaptive filter is dependent on the accuracy of the DFT computation obtained by using the LMS algorithm. The effects of inaccurate transform (DFT) computation of the performance of the transform-domain LMS adaptive filter are analyzed. The author also used a linear filter model to explain some of the observed nonideal effects. This indicated that, for large filter lengths, the accuracy of the DFTs computed diminishes.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6453,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 34th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"100 1","pages":"501-504 vol.1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77444959","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}

It is demonstrated that the pole Q can be lowered by increasing omega /sub s/ (the stopband frequency where the stopband begins). As a consequence the step response in the time domain as well as the delay characteristic in the frequency domain improves.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6453,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the 34th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"27 2","pages":"1057-1060 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91454521","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}

This algorithm is very insensitive to initial parameter variations, as good results are obtained even with 30% parameter error. This algorithm also attains good speed and accuracy in the presence of 5% measurement errors and high overordering effects.
