Dynamically reconfigurable filter with low complexity is need of hour today. FIR digital filter finds huge application in various disciplines because of stability and linear phase property. In this paper, recently discussed reconfigurable finite impulse response filter architecture is used to implement half-band filter. The proposed filter is employed to design an interpolator taking filter coefficients as inputs. These coefficients can be varied according to the specification without altering the underlying circuitry. While implementing polyphase components of interpolation filter the proposed architecture utilises farrow structure. We have used Xilinx's Artix7 family XC7A100T-3CSG324 field-programmable gate array to implement and test our architecture and synthesis results show that the proposed architecture offer enhanced speed when compared to other existing and proposed interpolators.
The purpose of this research is to study the existing work in the field of applications of Game Theory in engineering. The project was undertaken to comprehend the basics of Game Theory and then infer how it can be applied to solve practical problems. Initially the nuances of Game Theory were explored through standard texts and then they are followed by four problem statements to study how they can be modeled using Gaming Theory. We interpreted the work to develop an understanding of the modeling techniques. All the problems could be modeled into similarly structured games where there were players, strategies, sets of outcomes and an optimal solution for each. Hence, it could be said that, with some primary assumptions, Game Theory is an efficient medium to analyze and optimally solve practical problems in the field of engineering.
