low-order, well-designed compensation
filter designed by the proposed method
can decrease greatly the maximum ripple
in the passband. Considering the decimator and when a weighting cost function is
used, the maximum frequency response
magnitude passband ripple of the cascaded integrator-comb filters and the FIR
combined compensation filter is less than
0.0004 dB even if the combined compensation filter order is only 13.

Article Series on Signal Processing in Hands-on and Design Projects

Call for Information on Student Projects

An article series being developed by a guest editor team for IEEE Signal Processing Magazine (SPM) seeks
to provide a platform to share experiences and best practices on hands-on and design trainings that
incorporate signal and information processing. SPM invites inputs on recent student projects of this type.
What? Input can be made by faculty or industry professionals who have served as mentors for the student
projects; input from students is welcome, but endorsement by a faculty/mentor should be included with the
submission. Due to space limit, project information will not be published in full in the SPM; instead, the
guest editors will select representative projects and compile an article to include summaries or highlights of
the projects, and published in SPM with an acknowledgement of project authors and mentors.
How? Interested project authors and mentors should post their project information as a PDF file on the
online repository of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, SigPort.org, under the "Event/Theme" category
of "SPM Student Design Project Series" using coupon code "spm1227" and their IEEE web account. The
submission should have a cover page that includes the project name, institution, name and email contact of
project author(s) and mentor(s), project date/duration, and URL if available. A summary up to 3 pages
should describe succinctly the project motivation and main elements as well as outcome and notably
highlights. At least one image providing a visual summary or highlight of the project should be included;
more relevant images/diagram/photos are welcome; an informative thumbnail image should be included on
the SigPort platform. A full project report can be appended as one PDF file, or a URL of the report given.
Guest Editor Team: Hana Godrich, Arye Nehorai, Ali Tajer, Maria Sabrina Greco, and Changshui Zhang
When? Submissions are evaluated on a rolling basis by 31 July 2016. Early submission is encouraged.
