(author)This article presents a compact analog front-end (AFE) circuit for ultrasound receivers with linear-in-dB continuous gain control for time-gain compensation (TGC). The AFE consists of two variable-gain stages, both of which employ a novel complementary current-steering network (CCSN) as the interpolator to realize continuously variable gain....journal article 2022

Qian, N. (author), Chang, Guobin (author), Gao, Jingxiang (author), Shen, Wenbin (author), Yan, Z. (author)Filtering for GRACE temporal gravity fields is a necessary step before calculating surface mass anomalies. In this study, we propose a new denoising and decorrelation kernel (DDK) filtering scheme called adaptive DDK filter.
