Discrete Time Analog Signal Processing Devices

Autocorrelation analysis of noisy periodic signals utilizing a serial analog memory

“…The TAD-12 has 24 storage cells and 12 taps. It is potentially a very powerful device for matched filtering, real-time correlation filtering, and pattern recognition (9). Many filter characteristics can be implemented that are difficult or even impossible to implement using conventional approaches.…”

“…There are no pulsed NMR systems, however, which can automatically optimize experimental parameters. This fact was noted with some surprise in a review article in this journal (9).…”

“…These devices have been widely used as electronic image sensors in industrial and scientific applications (11,12). Architecturally similar devices are now available that are designed exclusively for analog signal processing rather than for imaging applications (9). One type of device, available from Reticon Corp., 910 Benicia Ave., Sunnyvale, Calif. 94086, is called a serial analog memory (SAM).…”
