  • Patent number: 7590250
    Abstract: One preferred embodiment of the present invention provides systems and methods for removing noise from an input analog signal in continues time. Briefly described in architecture, one embodiment of the system, among others, can be implemented as follows. An analog filtering system including VLSI circuitry separates an analog input signal into a plurality of sub-band signals. Then, an analog gain system including VLSI circuitry calculates a gain for each sub-band signal that suppresses the noise within the sub-band signal. In some preferred embodiments, VLSI circuitry includes floating gate technology. Methods and other systems are also provided.
