SUMMARYNew designs of highly e cient low=high-and mid-pass=stop (centre-symmetric band-pass=stop) FIR non-recursive digital ÿlters are presented. The designs are based on the modulation property of DFT, applied to the already presented MAXFLAT halfband low-pass ÿlters. The presented ÿlters have explicit formulas for their tap-coe cients, and therefore are very easy to design. They have highly smooth frequency response and wider transition regions like MAXFLAT ÿlters. The design formulae are modiÿed to give new classes of low=high-and mid-pass=stop ÿlters, for which, like in equiripple ÿlters, the transition bandwidth can be reduced by increasing the size of ripple on magnitude response. It is shown, with the help of design examples, that the performance of these ÿlters is comparable to that of equiripple ÿlters.
