Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a feed forward(FF) circuit structure with which delay can be programmed according to a request while maintaining the suitable band width of signals. SOLUTION: This FF circuit structure provided with programmable zero is provided with first and second cells to be cascade connected. The said first and second cells are respectively provided with the first and second pairs of bipolar transistors, a first high impedance element, a second high element and a fifth transistor 8. The base terminal of the fifth transistor 8 receives a signal, which is outputted from the collector terminal of the first pair of first transistors 1, to be outputted as a positive code at the first cell but to be outputted as a negative code at the second cell in order to determine a transmission function having a pair of special points in molecules. A second transistor 2 in the said pair of first and second transistors 1 and 2 is controlled by respective third and fourth current sources 11 and 9 having different values.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an FIR filter design that has a structure and a functional feature suitable for processing a signal whose spectrum is not known in advance and executes Hilbert transform so as to eliminate limitations and overcome defects of the design of a conventional technology. SOLUTION: This invention relates to a time continuous FIR(finite impulse response) filter that executes the Hilbert transform. The filter is provided with a delay cell connected in cascade between an input terminal and an output terminal of the filter and with a programmable time delay(Td) for a programmable filter cell having fixed filter coefficients (c0,..., cn). Furthermore, this invention also relates to a filtering method to use the structure of the Hilbert FIR filter to process a signal produced by reading data from a magnetic storage medium adopting the vertical recording.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To constitute a fourth cell which operates with a low supply power, does not require any floating capacitance, and has a low capacitance load at its input terminal. SOLUTION: A high-pass filter constituted of a current generating circuit 29 which is particularly used for high frequencies, has at least each one of input terminal IN and output terminal OUT, between which a transfer function (Fdt) is formed, incorporates serially arranged transconductance stages 2-5, is connected between a pair of stages 2 and 3 of a fourth cell 18 and a reference voltage (GND), and generates variable currents iK1 and iK2 . The circuit 29 makes the introduction of a programmable zero to the transfer function (Fdt) of the filter 20 possible.
