Implementação em FPGA de compensadores de desvios para conversor analógico digital intercalado

This work presents the modeling and FPGA implementation of digital TIADC mismatches compensation systems. The development of the whole work follows a top-down methodology. Following this methodology was developed a two channel TIADC behavior modeling and their respective offset, gain and clock skew mismatches on Simulink. In addition was developed digital mismatch compensation system behavior modeling. For clock skew mismatch compensation fractional delay filters were used, more specifically, the efficient Farrow struct. The definition of wich filter design methodology would be used, and wich Farrow structure, required the study of various design methods presented in literature. The digital compensation systems models were converted to VHDL, for FPGA implementation and validation. These system validation was carried out using the test methodology FPGA In Loop . The results obtained with TIADC mismatch compensators show the high performance gain provided by these structures. Beyond this result, these work illustrates the potential of design, implementation and FPGA test methodologies.

Ambiente para aquisição e processamento de sinal eletromiográfico de superfície

In this work, a platform to the conditioning, digitizing, visualization and recording of the EMG signals was developed. After the acquisition, the analysis can be done by signal processing techniques. The platform consists of two modules witch acquire electromyography (EMG) signals by surface electrodes, limit the interest frequency band, filter the power grid interference and digitalize the signals by the analogue-to- digital converter of the modules microcontroller. Thereby, the data are sent to the computer by the USB interface by the HID specification, displayed in real-time in graphical form and stored in files. As processing resources was implemented the operations of signal absolute value, the determination of effective value (RMS), Fourier analysis, digital filter (IIR) and the adaptive filter. Platform initial tests were performed with signal of lower and upper limbs with the aim to compare the EMG signal laterality. The open platform is intended to educational activities and academic research, allowing the addition of other processing methods that the researcher want to evaluate or other required analysis.
