A hermetic terminal for an active implantable medical device (AIMD), includes an RF distance telemetry pin antenna, a capacitor conductively coupled between the antenna and a ground for the AIMD, and an inductor electrically disposed in parallel with the capacitor and conductively coupled between the antenna and a ground for the AIMD. The capacitor and the inductor form a band pass filter for attenuating electromagnetic signals through the antenna except at a selected frequency band.

In an alternative form, the band pass filter is coupled in series with the telemetry pin antenna for attenuating MRI signals of a selected frequency band.

A slice and offset circuit is provided that uses a digital integrator in the feedback loop of the offset cancellation circuitry. A slice circuit receives an indication of a desired slice voltage and supplies a signal to specify the slice level, which is combined with a sensed offset level of the amplifier. The feedback loop includes a low pass filter that receives the combined signal indicative of the offset and the slice level. The low pass filter includes the digital integrator circuit that includes an up/down counter that counts in a direction determined according to a digital signal having a ones-density indicative of a value of the combined signal with respect to a reference signal, thereby generating a feedback signal that cancels offset and adjusts for slice.

A feedback-based digital DC offset correction scheme provides different adjustment levels for a plurality of discrete gain states and the analog DC offset correction scheme operates in different cancellation modes dependent on a frame structure. A digital DC offset correction scheme collects DC offset control information and provides adjustment levels. In addition, a negative-feedback based switchable high pass filter has a plurality modes of operation, where one mode of operation includes an all-pass filter.

Resistance in parallel with inductors in a series leg of the low-pass filter facilitates changing input and output resistance of the filter with little or no change in the reactance of the inductors. Furthermore, the reactance of the capacitors in the shunt legs of the filter will be substantially unaffected. This assists the designer in matching the impedance of the filter in the pass-band while still providing substantial impedance mismatching in the stop-band without substantially affecting the characteristics of the filter. Facilitating impedance matching in the pass-band and impedance mismatching in the stop-band is accomplished without the need for more complex active components. POTS splitters making use of such filters can facilitate impedance matching of line and load termination in a telecommunications system in response to signals within the frequencies of typical analog telephony service while providing impedance mismatching in response to signals within the frequencies of typical xDSL service.

An image processing apparatus is provided which offers higher versatility than conventional image processing apparatuses. When an input signal to a spatial filtering block is a monochrome signal that contains Y component only, a selector selects its input terminal and a selector selects its input terminal. Then, a low-pass filter output signal of a programmable spatial filter is inputted to a spatial filter, and a low-pass filter output signal of the spatial filer is inputted to a spatial filter. That is, the programmable spatial filter and the spatial filters are connected in series (in cascade), and the cascade-connected three spatial filters perform filtering operation. In this example, low-pass filters with 5×5 taps are connected in cascade in three stages, which enables low-pass filtering with 13×13 taps.

A frequency-warped processing system using either sample-by-sample or block processing is provided. Such a system can be used, for example, in a hearing aid to increase the dynamic-range contrast in the speech spectrum, thus improving ease of listening and possibly speech intelligibility. The processing system is comprised of a cascade of all-pass filters that provide the frequency warping. The power spectrum is computed from the warped sequence and then compression gains are computed from the warped power spectrum for the auditory analysis bands. Spectral enhancement gains are also computed in the warped sequence allowing a net compression-plus-enhancement gain function to be produced. The speech segment is convolved with the enhancement filter in the warped time-domain to give the processed output signal. Processing artifacts are reduced since the frequency-warped system has no temporal aliasing.

A wireless communications mobile station (10) includes at least one antenna (240) and a RF transceiver (210,220) containing a direct conversion receiver (1) coupled to the antenna. The direct conversion receiver contains a low noise amplifier (3) for amplifying a received RF signal and for outputting the amplified RF signal to a current switching down-conversion mixer (4). The down-conversion mixer has a first input node for receiving the amplified RF signal, a second input node for receiving a local oscillator (LO) signal for mixing with the amplified RF signal and an output node coupled to an input of an operational amplifier forming a low pass filter (5A). In accordance with an aspect of this invention the low pass filter has a low pass pole generated by a resistor R and a capacitor C coupled in parallel in a feedback path of the operational amplifier, where a low pass comer frequency of the low pass filter is inversely proportional to the product of R and C. In a preferred embodiment at least the down-conversion mixer and the low pass filter are implemented as part of an integrated circuit, and the resistor and the capacitor are fabricated within the integrated circuit.

A complex filter such as the channel select filter in a radio transceiver is implemented using a transconductance/C topology to benefit from the ability to tune such filters and thereby stabilize the output transfer function of the filter over variations in temperature, power supply voltage and process. The topology is based on an active R/C biquadratic topology to achieve the additional benefit of independently controlled stages. The problem created by the R in the output impedance is can be overcome by separately tuning the R value along with the transconductance/C ratio, by implementing the R as a transconductance amplifier having common mode feedback, or by implementing the transconductance amplifiers of the topology using Nauta transconductors, and unbalancing the common mode circuit of the Nauta transconductor to achieve a differential resistance that can be used to implement the R in the output impedance.

A method and apparatus for obtaining power computation parameters is presented. Accurate computation of power requires multiplying voltage and current at the same instant of time and integrating the results over time. The present invention provides a method of using a single Analog to Digital Converter to convert both voltage and current for all the phases of any electrical system and then digitally compensating for the phase error caused by the non-simultaneous sampling of the current and voltage signals. The compensating filter could be implemented as a simple interpolator, an all-pass filter, or a combination of both. A single multiplexer is used to select which signal is processed by the Analog to Digital Converter. By scheduling and converting the voltage and analog signals one at a time, potential for crosstalk is significantly reduced, power requirement is reduced, and die size requirement is reduced.

A filtering method approximates a target Finite Impulse Response (FIR) (or transversal) filter and reduces computational requirements by eliminating high pass filtering required by known multi-rate filters. An input signal is copied into two identical signals and processed in parallel by a full-rate path, and by a reduced-rate path. Parallel filters are computed and applied in each path, the reduced-rate signal is up-sampled, and the two signals summed. The high pass filter required by known multi-rate filters is eliminated and the low pass filter in the prior art is implicit in a down sampling. Linear phase FIR filters are used for down and up sampling, resulting in constant group delay. Added benefits include the option of zero added latency through the filtering and the constant group delay added to the target FIR. The user may choose criteria such as minimum resolution in each band.
