In an effort to reduce the area and design complexity, a method for designing an FIR filter as a tapped cascaded interconnection of identical subfilters is modified. The proposed subfilter structure further minimizes the arithmetic number. Experimental results show that the proposed interpolator achieves the design specification,exhibiting high performance and hardware efficiency,and also has good noise rejection capability. The interpolation filter can be applied to a delta-sigma DAC and is fully functional.展开更多

With a 50GHz digital sampling oscilloscope, the function and process of gated-mode （Geiger-mode） single-photon detection are intuitionally demonstrated for the first time. The performance of the detector as a gated-mode single-photon counter at wavelengths of 1310 and 1550nm is investigated. At the operation temperature of 203K,a quantum efficiency of 52% with a dark count probability per gate of 2.4 × 10 ^-3 ,and a gate pulse repetition rate of 50kHz are obtained at 1550nm. The corresponding parameters are 43%, 8.5 × 10^-3 , and 200kHz at 238K.展开更多
