Task 2. Compose a microtext of your own using the terminology of Scheme 2. Describe the Finite Impulse Response (FIR) Filter Structure.

Scheme 2.

Task 3. Speak about the Lattice Structure using Scheme 3.

Task 4. Study these verbs and phrasal verbs from the text:

to result in, to be delayed by, to be controlled by, to be continuous, to incorporate, to be required, to be restricted to, to be configured from, to output.

Now fill in each blank space with the appropriate phrasal verb in the correct form:

1. This filter has only a limited memory, which……………………… the number of delay stages and it …………the finite impulse response (FIR) or transversal filter design.

2. The input signal ………………… a number of delay elements, which may ……………..but in the present text ……………………….. discrete values.

3. This filter …………… only zeros (as there are no recursive feedback elements) and hence a large number of delay elements ……………. to obtain a sharp cutoff frequency response.

4. The FIR filter can ……………….. this generalized structure by replacing the undefined filter structure by a tapped delay line, which ………… a series of time-delayed signal samples.

The text is centered on…………………

It is reported about…………………………

Special attention is given to………………..

…………………………………is considered/emphasized.

In conclusion……………………..

Note: Don’t use subordinate clauses.

Task 7. Grammar Training. Translate the following sentences from English into Russian, mind “The Gerund”.

1. By designing an all-zero filter which uses only feed forward multipliers and is unconditionally stable we overcome the drawback of potential instability in the filter.

2. On multiplying by a set of stored weights we summed the products to form the output signal.

3. In 1971 Chang succeeded in unifying all approaches into a generalized equalizer or filter structure.

4. Using of this structure splits the signal into sets of forward (f) and backward (b) residual signal samples.

5. We discussed different methods of obtaining a sharp cutoff frequency response.

6. We know of the alternative FIR filter realization being the lattice structure which can be considered as a cascade of single tap prediction filter.

7. The researchers thought its (the filter) incorporating only zeros (as there are no recursive feedback elements) and hence a large number of delay elements are required to obtain a sharp cutoff frequency response.

8. Itakura and Saito succeeded in calculating Parcor coefficient values by recursive techniques in 1970 and both Makhoul and Mead have further suggested methods to simplify the algorithm computation.
