We describe an algorithm to count the number of distinct real zeros of a polynomial (square) system f. The algorithm performs O(n D kappa(f)) iterations where n is the number of polynomials (as well as the dimension of the ambient space), D…
A multi-pole, multi-zero design allowed realizing a "true" phase-shifter (not time-delayer) of flat frequency-response over more than 3 decades (30Hz-100kHz), which can be extended to higher frequencies or broader bands thanks to a modular…
