On Chebyshev Design of Linear-Phase FIR Filters With Frequency Inequality Constraints

摘要

The alternation theorem is the basis of the Remez algorithm for unconstrained Chebyshev design of finite-impulse response (FIR) filters. In this paper, we extend the alternation theorem to the inequality-constrained case and present an improved Remez algorithm for the design of minimax FIR filters with inequality constraints in frequency domain. Compared with existing algorithms, the presented algorithm has faster convergence rate and guaranteed optimal solutions.
