Go to Editorial ManagerThe Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Inverse FFT(IFFT) are used in most of the digital signal processing applications. Real time implementation of FFT/IFFT is required in many of these applications. In this paper, an FPGA reconfigurable fixed point implementation of FFT/IFFT is presented. A manually VHDL codes are written to model the proposed FFT/IFFT processor. Two CORDIC-based FFT/IFFT processors based on radix-2and radix-4 architecture are designed. They have one butterfly processing unit. An efficient In-place memory assignment and addressing for the shared memory of FFT/IFFT processors are proposed to reduce the complexity of memory scheme. With "in-place" strategy, the outputs of butterfly operation are stored back to the same memory location of the inputs. Because of using DIF FFT, the output was to be in reverse order. To solve this issue, we have re-use the block RAM that used for storing the input sample as reordering unit to reduce hardware cost of the proposed processor. The Spartan-3E FPGA of 500,000 gates is employed to synthesize and implement the proposed architecture. The CORDIC based processors can save 40% of power consumption as compared with Xilinx logic core architectures of system generator.
In recent years, symbolic analysis has become a well-established technique in circuit analysis and design. The symbolic expression of network characteristics offers convenience for frequency response analysis, sensitivity computation, and fault diagnosis. The aim of the paper is to present a method for symbolic analysis that depends on the use of the wavelet transform (WT) as a tool to accelerate the solution of the problem as compared with the numerical interpolation method that is based on the use of the fast Fourier transform (FFT).
Arc problems are most commonly caused by electrical difficulties such as worn cables and improper connections. Electrical fires are caused by arc faults, which generate tremendous temperatures and discharge molten metal. Every year, flames of this nature inflict a great lot of devastation and loss. A novel approach for identifying residential series and parallel arc faults is presented in this study. To begin, arc faults in series and parallel are simulated using a suitable simulation arc model. The fault characteristics are then recovered using a signal processing technique based on the fault detection technique called Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), which is built in MATLAB/Simulink. Then came db2, and one level was discovered for obtaining arc-fault features. The suitable mother and level of wavelet transform should be used, and try to compare results with conventional methods (FFT-Fast Fourier Transform). MATLAB was used to build and simulate arc-fault models with these techniques.

Speaker recognition refers to identifying the speaker by his or her voice. People talk in a variety of tones and each speaking voice has features that distinguish one person from another. Speaker verification (SV)involves comparing a set of measures of the speaker’s utterances with a reference for the person whose identification is being asserted to accept or reject the speaker’s identity claim. An identity claim is made during speaker verification which consists of two steps: extraction of feature and matching of feature. In this work, the analysis of correlations of Mel-scale coefficients for the voice of utterance to identify the intended speaker is presented. Short text-dependent word and other text-independent word is represented in this study. The correlation accuracy ranged from 98% to 99% for user1 (same speaker) for text-dependent. whereas 83% and 61% for user1 correlation with other speakers for text-dependent and independent respectively. Furthermore, the MFCC feature extraction approach based on distributed Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is provided in this research. SV tests are carried out using the MFCC feature extractions method where close variance for the target speaker and away variance for other speakers is obtained. Additionally, the principle component analysis (PCA) is provided to improve the discriminative system performance. Where the PCA chooses the optimal path between every pair of extremely confusing speakers. The results obtained from PCA were similar to the correlation finding from the Mel-scale results with enhancing the discriminative information and with lowering the dimension of MFCCs data..
