Variable digital filters (VDF) find many application areas in communication, audio, speech and image processing. This thesis analyzes design and implementation of FIR digital filters with variable frequency characteristics and introduces two design methods. The design and implementation of the proposed methods are realized on Matlab software program. Various filter design examples and comparisons are also outlilned. One of the major application areas of VDFs is software defined radio (SDR). The interpolation problem on sample rate converter (SRC) unit of the SDR is solved by using these filters. Realizations of VDFs on SRC are outlined and described. Simulations on Simulink and a specific hardware are examined.

Analysis of coupled lines in microwave printed circuit elements
Piroğlu, Şefika Özkal; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
Full wave analysis of microstrip lines at microwave frequencies is performed by using method of moments in conjunction with closed-form spatial domain Green’s functions. The Green’s functions are in general Sommerfeld-type integrals which are computationally expensive. To improve the efficiency of the technique, Green’s functions are approximated by their closed-forms. Microstrip lines are excited by arbitrarily located current sources and are terminated by complex loads at both ends. Current distributions ...

Kazancıoğlu, Uğur; Aşkar, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
In this thesis, a direct digital synthesis (DDS) based function generator design module is presented, defined and implemented using two digital hardware modeling/design languages namely SystemC and VHDL. The simulation, synthesis and applicability performances of these two design languages are compared by following all digital hardware design stages. The advantages and open issues of SystemC based hardware design flow are emphasized in order to be a reference for future studies. SystemC initially appeared a...
