{\bf Filter optimization for real time digital processing of radiofrequency signals: application
to oscillator metrology} \\
by A. Hugeat, J. Bernard, G. Goavec-M\'erou, P.-Y. Bourgeois, and J.-M. Friedt
\\
\end{center}

Based on the current trend of implementing oscillator characterization circuits as
digital electronics based on the concept of software defined radio, we aim at demonstrating
in this paper optimal strategies for designing and scheduling filters in Field Programmable 
Gate Arrays used to acquire and process radiofrequency signals. The complete abstract is

\begin{center}
\parbox{0.8\linewidth}{
Software Defined Radio (SDR) provides stability, flexibility and reconfigurability to
radiofrequency signal processing. Applied to oscillator characterization in the context
of ultrastable clocks, stringent filtering requirements are defined by spurious signal or
noise rejection needs. Since real time radiofrequency processing must be performed in a
Field Programmable Array to meet timing constraints, we investigate optimization strategies
to design filters meeting rejection characteristics while limiting the hardware resources
required and keeping timing constraints within the targeted measurement bandwidths. The
presented technique is applicable to scheduling any sequence of processing blocks characterized
by a throughput, resource occupation and performance tabulated as a function of configuration
characateristics, as is the case for filters with their coefficients and resolution yielding
rejection and number of multipliers.
