“…Some of these challenges refer to the minimization of pass band ripple (PBR), stop band ripple (SBR), low power consumption and smaller filter order. In this context, a large number of optimization based algorithms have been proposed which aim at meeting a set of predefined objectives (Ababneh and Bataineh, 2008;Ghoshal et al, 2012;Karaboga and Cetinkaya, 2006;Najjarzadeh and Ayatollahi, 2008;Psarakis, 2006;Radecki et al, 2005;Saha et al, 2013aSaha et al, , 2013c. Traditionally FIR filters have been designed based on frequency domain specifications.…”
