Selected Papers from the Midwest Symposiumon Circuits and Systems

Sumathi and Janakiraman present FPGA implementation of an amplitude modulated continuous wave ultrasonic ranger using restructured phase locking scheme that discusses a design for an accurate ultrasonic range finder with a restructured phase-locked loop employing a Sliding Discrete Fourier Transform. In Evolvable block-based neural network design for applications in dynamic environments, Merchant and Peterson explore the use of reconfigurable computing to implement embedded neural network structures that are optimized during execution through the use of genetic algorithms.
