Abstract
The structure of a digital filter is provided through exponentiation of a polyphase digital filter. This exponentiation may be accomplished by determining an expression for the polyphase digital filter in terms of its polyphase components, and raising the expression for the polyphase digital filter to a power. The polyphase components are then arranged in a structure based on this exponentiated expression.
Claims34
A method for providing a digital filter comprising:
- providing a polyphase digital filter comprising at least two polyphase components;
- determining an expression for the polyphase digital filter in terms of the polyphase components;
- raising the expression for the polyphase digital filter to a power to provide an exponentiated expression;
- and
- providing an exponentiated polyphase digital filter wherein the polyphase components are arranged in a structure based on the exponentiated expression.
A digital filter comprising:
- a plurality of A-filter blocks, each A-filter block applying a first polyphase component of a polyphase filter to an input signal;
- a plurality of B-filter blocks, each B-filter block applying a second polyphase component of the polyphase filter to the input signal;
- and
- a delay element that delays the input signal by one or more sample times, wherein the plurality of A-filter blocks, the plurality of B-filter blocks, and the delay element are interconnected in a structure that represents exponentiation of the polyphase filter by a power.
A digital filter comprising:
- first filtering means for applying a first polyphase component of a polyphase filter to an input signal;
- second filtering means for applying a second polyphase component of the polyphase filter to the input signal;
- delay means for delaying the input signal by one or more sample times;
- and
- interconnection means for interconnecting the first filtering means, the second filtering means, and the delay means in a structure that represents exponentiation of the polyphase filter by a power.
A method of transforming a digital input signal, the method comprising:
- applying a plurality of instances of a first polyphase component of a polyphase digital filter to the digital input signal;
- applying a plurality of instances of a second polyphase component of the polyphase digital filter to the digital input signal;
- and
- applying a plurality of delays to the digital input signal;
- wherein the instances of the first polyphase component, the instances of the second polyphase component, and the delays are applied to the signal according to a structure representing exponentiation of the polyphase digital filter by a power of at least two.
A digital filter comprising:
- a plurality of instances of a first allpass digital filter;
- a plurality of instances of a second allpass digital filter;
- and
- a plurality of delay elements;
- wherein the instances of the first allpass digital filter, the instances of the second allpass digital filter, and the delay elements are arranged in a structure representing exponentiation by a power of at least two of a polyphase digital filter having the first allpass digital filter and the second allpass digital filter as polyphase components.
