The circumstances and methods of the synthesis of linear digital recursive filters which are both stable and physically realizable are described. It is shown that any amplitude requency transfer function expressible as an even trigonometric rational polynomial can be synthesized by a real stable linear digital recursive filter. The degree of the corresponding difference equation is twice the degree of the denominator of the rational trigonometric polynomial.
A class of even rational trigonometric functions which exhibit pointwise convergence to the deal rectangular low or high-pass amplitude frequency transfer function is chosen. A member of this class is shown to approximate more closely the ideal rectangular filter than does the corresponding classical continuous Butterworth filter. This class of filters is then mechanized. The phase and unit-impulse response functions are calculated for the corresponding difference equations of degrees 2 and 4.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
