Study Notes
Digital Signal Processing - Chapter 4: Digital Filter Design
- Digital filters are used in various applications like data compression, biomedical signal processing, speech and image processing, data transmission, digital audio, and telephone echo cancellation.
- Analog filters are typically implemented using inductors (L) and capacitors (C). High-precision filters may use crystals or ceramic filters.
- Analog filters are bulky at lower frequencies due to the need for large inductors and capacitors. They have implementation advantages at higher frequencies.
- Digital filters perform arithmetic operations, resulting in high precision. The number of arithmetic operations is proportional to the sampling frequency.
- Digital filters can be stable, have truly linear phase response, and their performance is not affected by environmental changes (e.g., thermal variations).
- Digital filters are limited by speed: their maximum bandwidth for real-time applications is usually lower than that of analog filters. Finite wordlength effects (e.g., ADC noise, roundoff noise) can also lead to instability.
Analog and Digital Systems
- Digital lowpass filter equations are discrete-time and use a difference equation: output(n) = a * output(n-1) + input(n)
- Analog lowpass filter equations are continuous-time and use differential equations: output(t) = α * output(t - 1) + input(t)
- Digital filters use z-plane analysis (Z-transform), while analog filters use s-plane analysis (Laplace transform).
Types of Digital Filters
- A digital filter generally has an impulse response of h(k).
- FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filters are characterized by a finite impulse response. The output calculation only involves past and current input values.
- IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) filters have an infinite impulse response. Output values are calculated from past outputs as well as current and past input values.
- IIR filters are more computationally efficient in some cases, particularly for lower orders, but can be unstable if not designed carefully.
Mathematical Representation of Digital Filters
- The output of a digital filter (like an FIR or IIR filter) can be calculated by convoluting the input signal with the filter's impulse response.
- IIR filters can be expressed by a recursive equation, showing past outputs depending on current and past inputs
- The transfer function describes the filter's behavior in the z-domain for the FIR and s-domain for the IIR case.
Choosing Between FIR and IIR Filters
- FIR filters can have linear phase, always stable, are simpler to design, require more memory usage compared to similar order IIR filters.
- IIR filters may have non-linear phase, can be unstable if poorly designed, are more complex, are more efficient (lower order) for similar performance, and have lower memory requirements.
IIR Filter Design Methods
- Bilinear Transformation: Converts analog filter specifications to digital filter designs, widely used. It involves manipulating the s-plane to the z-plane
- Impulse Invariant: This method approximates an analog filter’s impulse response to obtain a discrete-time impulse response, producing a digital filter.
- Digital-to-Digital Transformation: Transforms digital filter specifications to another digital filter using different frequency transformation approaches.
Important Note Regarding Filter Design and A/D-H(z)-D/A Structures
- For systems involving Analog-to-Digital (A/D) conversion, processing, and Digital-to-Analog (D/A) conversion, filter specifications are often given in analog frequencies. This frequency needs conversion to a digital format before designing. Usually, ω = Ω * T , where T is the sampling time step.
Example Filter Design (Using Bilinear Transformation)
- Given specifications, like cutoff frequency and attenuation, the design process involves pre-warping, designing the analog filter, and applying bilinear transformation.
