In this paper we offer a ”birds eye view” of the field of adaptive filtering with the aim of suggesting a new approach to its teaching. Following a brief survey of the diverse lines of thought underpinning the traditional approach to the presentation of the most comm...

The first transistor-based impedance matching circuit for radio-frequency (RF) applications is introduced in this paper. It adapts arbitrary output impedances of RF blocks to desired values between 50ohmand 250ohm, from 0 to 5GHz, while occupying only 0.005mm² of circuit area in a 0.35μ...

In this paper, a new CMOS high performance fully differential second-generation current conveyor (FDCCII) is presented. The proposed FDCCII provides good linearity, high output impedance at terminals Z+ and Z-, and excellent output– input current gain accuracy. What is more, it is opera...

A new random number generator design from a double-scroll chaos is presented. The structure is based on the well-known oscillator sampling technique where the chaotic signal is employed as the entropy source. The proposed random number generator is realized in the laboratory and th...

Problems with evaluation of phase relations of reverse tractive current produced by railway driving vehicles are described in this article. This evaluation is newly required in innovated standard ČSN 34 2613. The possibilities and problems of phase analysis

This contribution deals with new configuration of the traction converter with medium-frequency transformer intended for ac trolley wire fed locomotives. The main objective of this paper is the control of primary voltage source active rectifiers connected in series and operated on the pr...

Accuracy of blood pressure (BP) measurement with any method is affected by cuff size. Narrow cuff overestimates BP and wide cuff underestimates BP. Wrist cuff oscillometric BP monitors typically use narrow cuffs with bladders about 6 cm wide. The segment of the radial artery c...
