Current mixed-signal BIST approaches are aimed to move test instrumentation on-chip to reduce the cost of test. However, this can result in a high overhead even for non-time critical DSP tasks that could be executed remotely if a suitable access was available. The new IEEE 1687-2014 standard provides such a portable and efficient infrastructure and can allow decoupling of digital and analog develo...Show More
This paper presents a novel methodology of objective image quality assessment (IQA) based on Fuzzy Logic (FL) method. The main purpose is to automatically assess the quality of image in agreement with human visual perception. The used attributes (quality metrics) and evaluation criteria (human rating mean opinion score MOS) are extracted from image quality database TID2013. The fuzzy model design ...Show More
In this article, we apply different machine learning (ML) techniques for building objective models, that permit to automatically assess the image quality in agreement with human visual perception. The six ML methods proposed are discriminant analysis, k-nearest neighbors, artificial neural network, non-linear regression, decision tree and fuzzy logic. Both the stability and the robustness of desig...Show More
This paper proposes a fully-digital BIST architecture for the dynamic test of ΣΔ ADCs. The proposed BIST relies on generating a ternary stream that encodes a high-linearity analog sinusoidal and injecting it directly at the input of the ΣΔ modulator. Compared to the well-known bitstream, the use of three logic levels in the ternary stream reduces the quantization noise and, thereby, results in a t...Show More
Objective image quality assessment plays an important role in various image processing applications, where the goal of this process is to automatically evaluate the image quality in agreement with human visual perception. In this paper, we propose three different nonlinear learning approaches in order to design image quality assessment models, which serve to predict the perceived image quality. Th...Show More
This paper presents an Embedded Test Instrument (ETI) for the estimation of the High Frequency (HF) jitter of an observed clock signal. The ETI uses a second reference clock for under-sampling the observed signal similar to previous approaches. However, the analysis of the test response does not require the construction of the Cumulative Distributed Function (CDF) of the jitter as in previous appr...Show More
Synchronization process is considered as a major challenge for ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems. Delay-Locked Loop (DLL) method is widely used to maintain the satisfactory timing synchronization and reduce timing offset error between the received and reference signals. In this paper, we propose a novel strategy to design DLL structure, based on Internal Model Control (IMC) concept. Prima...Show More

Maintaining the synchronization between receiver and transmitter in the presence of Doppler effect is considered as a major challenge for ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems. Delay-Locked Loop (DLL) method is widely proposed to keep the satisfactory synchronization. In this paper, we modify the structure of DLL, using Internal Model Control (IMC). Unfortunately, primary simulation results c...Show More
Timing acquisition represents a major challenge in carrying out highly efficient ultra-wideband (UWB) communications. The timing with dirty template (TDT) approach is a promising candidate, which is low-complexity high-performance timing acquisition. In this paper, we describe the dirty template (DT) technique, in order to develop and test timing algorithms in Data Aided (DA) mode. In addition, we...Show More
