The objective of this thesis is to study the charged-coupled device signal processing in the area of discrete analog recursive filtering. Theoretical study of the first-order and the second-order discrete analog recursive filter, DAR, was carried out. Since the instrumentation was not adeguate for the second-order CCD DAR filter, two MOS IC delays (SAD-IOO) were used for the second-order DAR filter experiments. The first-order low-pass and high-pass DAR filter experiments using the CCD and the SAD-IOO, and the second-order low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass DAR filter experiments using the SAD-IOO only were conducted. Agreement between the experimental result and the theory is satisfactory. The result of this thesis indicates that both the CCD and the SAD-IOO DAR filters may be useful for applications in which comb-filters and range gated filters are used.
