FIR Filter Designer
===================
This is the seventh Aminet release of the FIR Filter Designer.
The program designs optimized Finite Impulse Response Filters.
Amiga OS 3.x is required. The program requires a minimum Workbench
screen size of 640x400.
The FIR Filters designed by the program FIR Filter Designer V2.2
can be loaded by the program AudioLab16 from Maurizio Ciccione.
AudioLab16 can be found on the Aminet in the directory /mus/edit.
The problem of designing finite impulse response (FIR) digital
filters experienced great activity in the early 1970`s. Most of
this work was directed at the problem of optimal filter design,
in the weighted Chebyshev sense. The algorithm for this program,
by McClellan, Parks and Rabiner, will design the optimal Chebyshev
approximation for linear phase filters. The Chebyshev optimization
is done very efficiently by means of the Remez exchange algorithm,
and this particular FIR filter design program has found wide use.
The window method filter design process is based upon Fourier series.
It is possible to represent a frequency function as a Fourier series,
whose coefficients represent the coefficients of the filter.
To form a casual filter, the Fourier series is truncated and shifted.
Truncating the Fourier series causes a phenomenon called the "Gibbs
effect" - a spike occurs wherever there is a discontinuity in the
desired magnitude of the filter. To counteract this, the filter
coefficients are convolved in the frequency domain with the spectrum
of a window function, thus smoothing the edge transitions at any
discontinuity. This convolution in the frequency domain is equivalent
to multiplying the filter coefficients with the window coefficients
in the time domain.
