Closed-form design of maximally flat FIR fractional delay filters

摘要

Eight types of maximally flat finite impulse response (FIR) fractional delay filters are proposed. They are designed by separately approximating the real part and the imaginary part of the frequency response. Among these eight types of filters, two of them are equivalent to the existing design results in the open literature. Therefore, a more general closed-form design of the maximally flat FIR fractional delay filters is described in this letter, and some design examples of FIR fractional delay filters will be illustrated.
