Filter Banks

Multirate filters alter the sample rate of the input signal during the filtering process. Such filters are useful in both rate conversion and filter bank applications.

FIR Nyquist (L-th band) Filter Design

This example shows how to design lowpass FIR Nyquist filters. It also compares these filters with raised cosine and square root raised cosine filters. These filters are widely used in pulse-shaping for digital transmission systems. They also find application in interpolation/decimation and filter banks.

Design of Decimators/Interpolators

This example shows how to design filters for decimation and interpolation. Typically lowpass filters are used for decimation and for interpolation. When decimating, lowpass filters are used to reduce the bandwidth of a signal prior to reducing the sampling rate. This is done to minimize aliasing due to the reduction in the sampling rate. When interpolating, lowpass filters are used to remove spectral images from the low-rate signal. For general notes on lowpass filter design see the example on Designing Low Pass FIR Filters.
