    Abstract: The discrete wavelet Transform (DWT) has been studied and developed in various scientific and engineering fields. Its multi-resolution and locality nature facilitates application required for progressiveness in capturing high-frequency details. However, when dealing with enormous data volume, the performance may drastically reduce. The multi-resolu... Show More

    Abstract: The System-On-Chip (SoC) revolution challenges both design and test engineers, especially in the area of power dissipation. Generally, a circuit or system consumes more power in test mode than in normal mode. This extra power consumption can give rise to severe hazards in circuit reliability or, in some cases, can provoke instant circuit damage. Mo... Show More
