Adaptive FIR Filter Design with Approximate Adder and Hybridized Multiplier for Efficient Noise Eradication in Sensor Nodes

Abstract

Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter contributes a major role in most of the signal processing applications. However, the Finite Impulse Response filter performance is restricted by its speed, power and area usage. To address these issues, an adaptive FIR filter design using approximate adder and Hybridizing (Radix-8 Booth and TRAM) Approximate Multiplier (DA-AFIR-leadx-hybam-AC) is proposed in this manuscript for eradicating the noise in the sensor nodes. Here, Low error together with area efficient approximate adder (leadx) is used for reducing path delay and area utilization. For approximate multiplier design, proposed Hybridizing (Radix-8 Booth and TRAM) Approximate Multiplier using 15–4 Approximate Compressors (hybam-AC) is used for decreasing power consumption and design complexity. The simulation of the proposed model is implemented in Verilog and the design is synthesized in FPGA utilizing Xilinx ISE 14.5. The proposed DA-AFIR-leadx-hybam-AC filter design attains 33.6%, 22.75%, 29.69% lower power and 43.58%, 11.3%, 33.07% lower delay than the existing approaches, like DA-AFIR-MLDA-RNS, DA-AFIR-Hyb-CSD-ABR, DA-AFIR-SOPOT-MPGBP. Finally, the proposed DA-AFIR-leadx-hybam-AC filter design is applied for noise removal application in sensor nodes. The proposed Filter is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink for reading input signal.
