Study of an Integrated Circuit Tapped Delay Line and its Applications to Signal Processing.

摘要

An integrated circuit tapped delay line and its applications to sampled analog processing are studied. The theoretical effort includes the design of sampled analog transversal filters using the techniques developed for digital non-recursive filters. The experimental study includes the evaluation of the new Reticon TAD-12tapped delay line and its applications as prewhitening, dewhitening and bandpass filters. The frequency domain response and the time domain response are evaluated. The limitations in the device performance and the deviations of filter performance from theoretical analysis are investigated. (Author)
