Digital Filter-Introduction

 performs mathematical operation on


a sampled discrete time signal
to reduce or enhance certain aspects

Advantages

 Software programmable
 Requires only arithmetic functions
 Do not drift with temperature or humidity
 Superior performance-to-cost ratio
 Do not suffer from manufacturing defects or aging

FIR Filters

 A filter whose response has finite duration


 Non recursive since unlike IIR filters, the feedback is not there

Advantages and Disadvantages of FIR Filters

Advantages:

 Unconditionally stable
 Simple to implement
 Linear
 Non Causal

Disadvantages:

 Expensive due to large order


 Requires more memory
 Time consuming process

Frequency response of FIR filter

 Let’s consider the desired impulse response of the FIR is hd[n].


 DTFT of hd[n] is 𝐻𝑑 𝜔 = ∞
ℎ=−∞ ℎ𝑑 (𝑛)𝑒
−𝑗𝜔𝑛

hd[n] should be finite. So we need to truncate it from 0 to M to have an


order of M+1.

Considering an ideal low pass filter:

 Frequency Sampling

 Equiripple Design

Filter Design by Windowing

 Simplest way of designing FIR filters

Method is all discrete-time no continuous-time involved

Start with ideal frequency response

Rectangular Window

 Narrowest main lob


-4/(M+1)
-Sharpest transitions
at discontinuites in frequency

 Large side lobs


-13 dB
-Large oscillation
around discontinuities

• Simplest window possible

Optimum Filter Design

 Though ´windowing method is simple, it is not the most effective

 Rectangular windowing is optimum In one sense since they


minimise the mean squared approximation error to desired
response, but causes errors around discontinuities

Most popular alternative method: Parks-McClellan Algorithm

 Uses minimax error method for function approximation


OVGU Präsentation 20.07.2015 14

Different Methods of Optimum Filter Designing by


Approximation

 Weighted-least-squares method

Chebyshev method

WLS-Chebyshev method

 Parks-Mcclellan algorithm
OVGU Präsentation 20.07.2015 15

Parks- McClellan

 Often called the Remez exchange method

 This method designs an optimal linear phase filter

 This is the standard method for FIR filter design

 This methodology for designing symmetric filters that minimize


filter length for a particular set of design constraints {ωp, ωs, δ p, δ
s}

 The computational effort is linearly proportional to the length of


the filter

 In Matlab, this method is available as remez().


OVGU Präsentation 20.07.2015 16

Parks- McClellan Method

 The resulting filters minimize the maximum error between the


desired frequency response and the actual frequency response by
spreading the approximation error uniformly over each band

 Such filters that exhibit equiripple behavior in both the passband


and the stopband, and are sometimes called equiripple filters
OVGU Präsentation 20.07.2015 17

Alternation Theorem

 The polynomial of degree L that minimizes the maximum error will


have at least L+2 extrema.

 The optimal frequency response will just touch


the maximum ripple bounds.

 Extrema must occur at the pass and stop band edges and
at either ω=0 or π or both.

 The derivative of a polynomial of degree L is a polynomial of


degree L-1, which can be zero in at most L-1 places. So the
maximum number of local extrema is the L-1 local extrema plus
the 4 band edges. That is L+3.

 The alternation theorem doesn’t directly suggest a method for


computing the optimal filter

OVGU Präsentation 20.07.2015 19

Conclusion

 FIR filters allow the design of linear phase filters, which eliminate
the possibility of signal phase distortion

 Two methods of linear phase FIR design were discussed:


-The ideal window method
-The optimal Parks-McClellan method

 FIR is advantageous due to linearity and stability

 The disadvantages of FIR include expensiveness and that the


process is time consuming
