In this paper, an FVF current mirror is proposed to have high bandwidth, low input, and boosted output resistance. The low voltage operation is confirmed using flipped voltage follower at the input. Also at the input, a local negative feedback loop is created which reduces the input node resistance and the achieved value ranges below an ohm. The output stage consists of a regulated cascode and a super cascode topology which is driven by an inverting amplifier realized using a self-cascode structure to improve the output resistance. However, instead of using the traditional gate-driven self-cascode, the proposed design uses its quasi-floating gate MOS transistor-based structure which further improves the output resistance and bandwidth. The proposed current mirror operates with minimum error in the range of 0–1000 µA. The bandwidth of the proposed circuit ranges in gigahertz which is 3.1 GHz. The resistance at the input is found as 0.407 Ω whereas the output has boosted resistance to a Giga ohm value which is 86 GΩ. The stability and robustness analysis is done via temperature, process corners and Monte Carlo runs.

The cross-shaped slot in the center of the antenna promises the realization of circular polarization. The configuration of the structure is considered in such a way that each component of the body has the ability to realize a different behavior for the far-field due to the changes in the chemical potential values and in fact the Fermi energy. In fact, an antenna with the ability to switch between right-handed circular polarization and left-handed circular polarization has been proposed in the THz frequency band. According to the design, the resonance frequency is located at 0.77 THz. The main purpose is polarization adjusting through chemical potential changes. At the same time, the physical structure of the antenna remains fixed and intact. Next, an antenna with a suitable matching range of 0.6 THz through 0.95 THz has been achieved. It is possible to control its polarization in two circular polarization modes, right-handed and left-handed. Suitable axial ratio is about 3 dB, which is obtained in the range of 0.62 THz through 0.64 THz. The addition of layered patches has enabled polarization switching.

For accurate ECG analysis, early diagnosis and evaluation of cardiac disorders, embedded low and high-frequency noise must be eradicated from it. Baseline wandering is an example of low-frequency noise, whereas muscle artefacts and power line interference are examples of high-frequency noise. This paper presents a novel method for cancellation of power line interference that is based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) and digital filtering techniques. To accomplish an efficacious ECG denoising process, narrow-band variational mode functions (VMFs) are created by decomposing the noisy ECG signal using VMD method. The aim is to eliminate powerline interference noise (PLI) using a variable notch filter designed using these narrow-band VMFs. For cancellation of powerline interference, centre frequency of all VMFs is estimated and depending upon the presence of powerline interference, a notch filter with frequency response adjusted to the estimate obtained from VMFs is designed to remove it. Utilizing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and correlation coefficient, the effectiveness of the suggested denoising method is evaluated. The proposed approach is tested on synthetic ECG signals and standard MIT-BIH arrhythmia database, demonstrating that the proposed approach reduces powerline interference noise better than the current state of art methods.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7827,"journal":{"name":"Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138686568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Image convolution has been widely used in applications followed by image de-nosing filters, feature extraction and computer vision. Realization of two dimensional(2D) convolution based image filter requires massive computational requirements. FPGA based 2D image filter implementation is one of the most challenging task, more computationally exhaustive due to requirement of large number of multiplications and addition operations. The 2D-filter implementation requires extra memory bandwidth for eliminating Gaussian noise. The proposed one dimension (1D) image filter technique reduces the memory access rate by using pixel reuse. Therefore, it improves the performance as well as flexibility. The novelty of the proposed image de-noising filter is hardware reusability, pixels reuse mechanism in accordance with intermediate data shared for consecutive Multiply and Accumulate (MAC) operations. The optimized Reconfigurable Common Subexpression Elimination (RCSE) based MAC diminishes the area in terms of number of multiplications and adder operations of the filter. The 1D-filter approach uses less number of clock cycles and eliminates the data dependencies among neighborhood pixels. In comparison of state-of the art MAC structures, the proposed latency-hiding MAC design achieves optimal delay of 3.396 ns.
