Wave digital information anticipator

Pioneering developments in electrical engineering are based on inspirations from biology. They exhibit naturally an efficient information processing. For example, hardware realizations of memristive circuits mimicking the anticipatory behavior of unicellular organisms like amoebas have been developed in this context. Unfortunately, circuits are not appropriate for algorithms dedicated in the area of digital signal processing. We intended to get an algorithmic model of the anticipation circuit for utilizations in digital signal processing applications. In our approach we have applied the wave digital method to get a digital replica of the analog circuit. This offers several benefits, like the ability for preserving the passivity of the analog counterpart, the possibility for a parallel processing approach, efficiency, and robustness of the resulting algorithmic model. The memristive device of the original circuit has been replaced by a novel multilevel memristor model with suitable features for anticipation of digital patterns. The resulting algorithmic model offers innovative applications in e.g. robotics or artificial neural networks.
