Abstract

The filters are used to allow a specific band of frequencies. In a wireless communication, the filter is used to select the frequency of operation with a narrow or broad band. As the generations increase the amount of data handled increases drastically. 5G data rate can be significantly deliver up to 20 Gigabits per second while 4G communication data rate is handled in the order of 100 Megabits per second. Now the challenge becomes processing data at such a speed with low power and low area specifications. The filters that can configure themselves as per the data received are reconfigurable filters so that the bandwidth is saved. Also, when the pipelining is introduced, the reconfigurable filter improves the performance of the design. This paper details about the pipelined reconfigurable finite impulse response (RFIR) filter with the simplest algorithm with auto updating capability. The design is modelled in Verilog hardware description language (HDL) language, synthesized for Cyclone III field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The results prove that the proposed filter increases only slightly with respect to delay and power dissipation with a trade off in area and maximum possible clock frequency.

Abstract

Approximate computing has emerged as a crucial technique in modern computing, offering significant benefits for error-resilient applications. Error resilient applications include signal, image, audio processing, and multimedia. These applications will accept the errored results with some degree of tolerance. This approach allows these applications to process and embrace data that may deviate slightly from perfect accuracy. The utility of approximate computing extends to both hardware and software domains. In hardware, arithmetic units are particularly important, among that approximate subtractors have gained attention for their role in these units. A comparative study was conducted on various approximate subtractors from existing literature, considering structural analysis in all scenarios. These approximate subtractors are coded in Verilog hardware description language (HDL) and synthesized in Synopsys electronic design automation (EDA) Tool using Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) 65 nm technology. Out of the available choices, approximate subtractor 3 is particularly well-suited for processing higher bit data due to its reduced hardware complexity and minimal error. Notably, it outperforms exact subtractors by achieving a notable reduction of 20% in the area delay product (ADP) and 15% in the power delay product (PDP) as process innovation. These improvements highlight the efficiency and effectiveness of approximate subtractor 3, making it a compelling option for various computing applications which accept the inaccurate results.

Abstract

High-performance radio frequency (RF) modules are required in transmitter and reception devices due to the recent expansion of wireless technology. The power amplifier, low-noise amplifier, filter, and mixer are the most crucial components in the RF transmitter/receiver chain. This work presents the design and analysis of a dual-band bandpass filter (BPF) for wireless local area network (WLAN) and C-band satellite applications. Stubs of the proper electrical length that are open and short-circuited are used to implement the filter. The low pass performance is generated by the open-circuited stubs. Short-circuited stubs achieve high-pass performance, while the combination of open and short-circuited stubs achieves bandpass performance. We confirm the filter's behaviour using the advanced design system 2022 simulation tool. The findings of return loss and insertion loss confirm the simulation-level performance analysis of the filter. The result demonstrates the suggested BPF's dual-band behaviour at 4 GHz and 6 GHz.

Abstract

The multiplier is an essential component in real-time applications. Even though approximation arithmetic affects output accuracy in multipliers, it offers a realistic avenue to constructing power area and speed-efficient digital circuits. The approximation computing technique is commonly used in error-tolerant applications such as signal, image, and video processing. In this paper, approximate multipliers (AMs) are designed using both conventional and approximate half adders (A-HA) and full adders (A-FA), which are strategically placed to add partial products at the most significant bit (MSB) positions, and OR gates are used to add partial products at the lower significant bit (LSB). In addition, this research article demonstrates unsigned and signed multipliers using the ripple carry adder (RCA), carry save adder (CSA), conditional sum adder (COSA), carry select adder (CSLA), and clock gating technique. The proposed multipliers are implemented in Verilog hardware description language (HDL) and simulated on the Xilinx VIVADO 2021.2 design tool with target platform Artix-7 AC701 FPGA. The simulation results found that unsigned and signed approximate multiplier power consumption was reduced by 13% and 18.18% respectively and enhanced accuracy.

Abstract

As the internet of things (IoT) grows, its embedded devices face increasing vulnerability to firmware-based attacks. The lack of robust security mechanisms in IoT devices makes them susceptible to malicious firmware updates, potentially compromising entire networks. This study addresses the classification of IoT firmware security threats using deep learning and image-based analysis techniques. A publicly available dataset of 32×32 grayscale images, derived from IoT firmware samples and categorized as benignware, hackware, and malware, was utilized. The grayscale images were converted into three-channel RGB format to ensure compatibility with convolutional neural networks (CNNs). We tested multiple pre-trained CNN architectures, including SqueezeNet, ShuffleNet, MobileNet, Xception, and ResNet50, employing transfer learning to adapt the models for this classification task. Both ResNet50 and ShuffleNet achieved exceptional performance, with 100% accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. These results validate the effectiveness of our methodology in leveraging transfer learning for IoT firmware classification while maintaining computational efficiency, making it suitable for deployment in resource-constrained IoT environments.

Abstract

The testing and measurement (TM) of electrical parameters of printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) plays an integral part in the manufacturing sectors. These industries work on embedded system which widely use digital oscilloscopes (DO) for such purposes, however, operate them manually. An exponential rise in the implementation of industry 4.0 with the increasing demand for industrial products makes manual TM cumbersome. The automation of oscilloscopes (AO) remains a viable alternative to these issues requiring further investigation. An accurate and automated TM block facilitates efficient design, development, and assembly of a fully functional system hence addressed here. The AO has been carried out using generalized software that can be configured based on industry requirements. It subsequently stores the data on the server for better traceability. The automated software is developed using VB.NET and installed on a personal computer. Experiments reveal the proposed approach saves approximately 60%-70% of the time required for each PCBA operation than that of the manual system. This can enhance the productivity of the industry in terms of manpower and Resource utilization with a reduction in operating costs.
