A new method for designing linear-phase finite impulse response (FIR) filters is proposed by using the blockwise waveform moments. The proposed method yields linear-phase FIR filters whose magnitude response and its derivatives to a certain order take the prescribed values at the equally spaced frequency points. The design procedure only needs to solve a system of linear equations, whose size is slightly smaller than the degree of the resulting filter. In addition, the inversion of the linear equations can be essentially precomputed. Therefore, the proposed design method is computationally efficient. In particular, for some important cases, i.e., the maximally flat-regular th-band FIR filters, a closed-form formula can be obtained. It is also shown that the resulting-regular th-band FIR filters have the zero intersymbol interference property.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
