Abstract:
An efficient design of equiripple half-band FIR filters for signal compression is presented. Solution of the approximation problem in terms of generating function and zero phase transfer function for the equiripple half-band FIR filter is shown. The equiripple half-band FIR filters are optimal in the Chebyshev sense. The closed form solution provides an efficient computation of the impulse response of the filter. Two examples are included. The robustness of the design is emphasized. The Matlab code of the design procedure is included.
