Stable output level increases the accuracy of further signal processing algorithms. So, gain control algorithms are important preprocessing steps. On the other hand, implementation of gain control algorithms vary depending on environment and performance parameters. In this case, the algorithms are required re-implementation. Re-implementation is a time consuming process especially for embedded signal processing platforms like FPGA. Implementation of signal processing algorithms as IP Cores are recommended to resolve re-design requirement. IP core is a logical block that is designed for FPGAs. By means of transportable structure, it can be applied to all systems easily. This paper presents implementation of gain control algorithms as IP Core. Introduced IP Core makes it easy to implement AGC and TVG in any conliguration. Also, it accelerates design time.

Implementation of an enhanced fixed point Variable Bit-Rate MELP vocoder on TMS320C549
Ertan, AE; Aksu, EB; Ilk, HG; Karci, H; Karpat, O; Kolcak, T; Sendur, L; Demirekler, Mübeccel; Cetin, AE (1999-03-19)
In this paper, a fixed point Variable Bit-Rate (VBR) Mixed Excitation Linear Predictive Coding (MELP(TM)) vocoder is presented. The VBR-MELP vocoder is also implemented on a TMS320C54x and it achieves virtually indistinguishable federal standard MELP quality at bit-rates between 1.0 to 1.6 kb/s. The backbone of VBR-MELP vocoder is similar to that of federal standard MELP. It utilizes a novel sub-band based voice activity detector in the back-end of encoder to discriminate background noise from speech activi...
Optimizations of antennas using heuristic algorithms supported by the multilevel fast multipole algorithm
Önol, Can; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
In this study, an optimization environment based on heuristic algorithms supported by the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is presented for different antenna problems involving either excitation or geometry optimizations. The heuristic algorithms are implemented in-house by aiming more effective interactions between electromagnetic solvers and optimization algorithms, instead of black box interactions. Excitation optimizations of various array geometries for desired radiation characteristics are ...
Image segmentation and smoothing via partial differential equations
Özmen, Neslihan; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Scientific Computing (2009)
In image processing, partial differential equation (PDE) based approaches have been extensively used in segmentation and smoothing applications. The Perona-Malik nonlinear diffusion model is the first PDE based method used in the image smoothing tasks. Afterwards the classical Mumford-Shah model was developed to solve both image segmentation and smoothing problems and it is based on the minimization of an energy functional. It has numerous application areas such as edge detection, motion analysis, medical i...
Implementation of a DF algorithm on an FPGA platform
İpek, Abdullah Volkan; Severcan, Mete; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
In this thesis work, the implementations of the monopulse amplitude comparison and phase comparison DF algorithms are performed on an FPGA platform. After the mathematical formulation of the algorithms using maximum-likelihood approach is done, software simulations are carried out to validate and find the DF accuracies of the algorithms under various conditions. Then the algorithms are implemented on an FPGA platform by utilizing platform specific software tools. Block diagrams of the hardware implementatio...
Dimension reduced robust beamforming for towed arrays
Topçu, Emre; Candan, Çağatay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
Adaptive beamforming methods are used to obtain higher signal to interference plus noise ratio at the array output. However, these methods are very sensitive to steering vector and covariance matrix estimation errors. To overcome this issue, robust methods are usually employed. On the other hand, implementation of these robust methods can be computationally expensive for arrays with large number of sensors. Reduced dimension techniques aim to lower the computational load of adaptive beamforming algorithms w...
