Design of Pipelined IIR Filters Using Two-Stage Frequency-Response Masking Technique

摘要

A pipelined, high-speed infinite impulse response (IIR) filter based on the frequency-response masking (FRM) technique has been proposed by Johansson and Wanhammar. In their method, the bandedge shaping filters are a pair of IIR power complementary filters whose z-transform functions are functions of z(M) and the masking filters are linear phase finite impulse response (FIR) filters. The IIR bandedge shaping filters have M delays in the feedback loop and can be pipelined by M stages. In this brief, we present a two-stage FRM method for reducing the number of multipliers of the pipelined IIR filter proposed by Johansson and Wanhammar for a given magnitude response specification and a given number of pipeline stages in the feedback loop. In our design, all the subfilters are optimized jointly. We show that our two-stage masking design requires fewer multipliers if the number of pipeline stages in the feedback loop is larger than four.
