Signal processing in analog domain is favorable when power consumption is a critical design constraint. Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT), which is increasingly being used in characterizing biomedical signals, when implemented in analog domain consumes less power provided the mother wavelet is properly approximated. This paper presents an approximation of Gaussian wavelet by making use of the Uniform approximation. Simulations of the approximated wavelet and the actual wavelet in MATLAB are performed and the results discussed. Simulations show that (i) approximation obtained closely matches the mother wavelet chosen and (ii) a stable approximation which helps in physical realization using any circuit design methodology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
