response (FIR) linear phase filters using MATLAB. The window method, parks-McClellan
method and convex programming method will be studied.

numerical applications such as numerical linear algebra, signal processing, etc. Refer to
http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ for more details.
If you do not have the MATLAB software, you may use the PC workstations located at the
CYC103 Laboratory.

Microsoft Word or PDF format together with the appended MATLAB codes and uploaded to

4. Theory
4.1 Window method
Window method generally begins with an ideal frequency response:
is the corresponding impulse response sequence. Many idealized systems are
defined by piecewise-constant or piecewise-functional frequency responses with discontinuities
at the boundaries between bands. As a result, they have impulse response that are noncausal and
infinitely long. Window method truncates the infinitely long impulse response by multiplying it
with a finite sequence called the window functions:
h(n) h (n) (n)  d  (2)
The Fourier transform of the FIR filter is then given by:
(3)
which is the periodic convolution of the desired ideal frequency response with the Fourier
transform of the windows. Hence, ( )
j H e will be a smeared version of ( )
j
d H e . The most
popular window functions being the Kaiser window:
(4)
where   M / 2 , and 0
I represents the zeroth-order modified Bessel function of the first kind.
The design procedure involves the determination of the order M and the shape parameter 
from the given specification. Let
min{ , }    1  2
  s  p
(for lowpass approximation)
where 1 2  , are respectively the pass and stop band ripples in the specification.
s  p
, are respectively the stop and pass band edge frequencies.
Define
A 20log10  (5)
Kaiser determined empirically that the value of  and M needed to meet the specification is
given by:
Similar procedure can be applied to design multiband filters.
4.2 Parks-McClellan method
The Parks-McClellan algorithm uses the Remez exchange algorithm and Chebyshev
approximation theory to design filters with optimal  error norm, i.e. the maximum error
between the desired frequency response and the actual frequency response is minimized. Filter
designed in this way exhibit an equiripple behavior in their frequency response.
Unlike the Kaiser window method, the pass and stop band ripples need not be the same. Kaiser
has obtained the following simplified formula for the estimation of filter order for a given
specification:
4.3 Convex programming method
Optimization toolbox: The problem mentioned above can be solved using a free Matlab toolbox
“CVX”, which is available at
http://cvxr.com/cvx/download
Install the CVX toolbox according to the descriptions therein.
Background:
In FIR filter design, the following minimax problem is commonly encountered:
where h(n) is the filter coefficients to be determined,  is the frequency interval of interest,
( )
j H e is the frequency response of the FIR filter given by
is the ideal frequency response. Typical ideal frequency
responses of lowpass and highpass FIR filters are respectively given by
where  is the group delay of the FIR filter, and  p
and s
are the passband and stopband
edges, respectively.
4.4 PC-MATLAB
PC-MATLAB is an interactive environment for high level simulation of general numerical
applications such as numerical linear algebra, signal processing, etc.
MATLAB works with essentially only one kind of object, a rectangular numerical matrix with
possibly complex elements. Refer to PC-MATLAB Reference and Tutorial for more details of
matrix declaration and manipulation.
User defined function or command files can be added to MATLAB’s vocabulary if they are
expressed in terms of other existing functions. The commands and functions that comprise the
new function are put in a file whose name defines the name of the new function, with a file type
of .m appended. See the PC-MATLAB reference pp.3-84-3.85 for details. M-files can be created
using ordinary text-editor and placed in the same directory of MATLAB or other defined search
path in MATLAB. Type the name of the M-file in MATLAB environment will invoke the
commands or functions defined in the corresponding M-file.
In this experiment, we shall make use of two functions in the Signal Processing Toolbox in the
PC-MATLAB for designing linear phase FIR filters.
fir1 implements the classical method of windowed linear-phase FIR digital filter design. It is
formulated to design filters in standard lowpass, bandpass, highpass and bandstop configurations.
For example
b=fir1(n,Wn,kaiser(n+1,β))
Returns row vector b containing the n+1 coefficients of the order n Kaiser windowed lowpass
linear-phase FIR filter with normalized cutoff frequency Wn. Refer to MATLAB Signal
Processing Toolbox Tutorial pp. 1-32 - 1-33 and 2-61 - 2-62 for more details.
remez is a function to design linear phase FIR filters using the Parks-McClellan algorithm.
b=remez(n,f,m,w)
returns row vector b containing the n+1 coefficients of the order n FIR filter whose frequencymagnitude
characteristics match those given by vector f and m. For later versions of the
MATLAB, the remez function is replaced by firpm. The usage of firpm is similar to that of the
remez function
b=firpm(n,f,m,w)
f is a vector of frequency points, specified in the range between 0 and 1, where 1.0 corresponds
to half the sample frequency.
m is a vector containing the desired magnitude response at the points specified in f. The elements
of m must appear in equal-valued pairs.
w is the weight used in each frequency band.
Refer to pp. 1-34 - 1-35 and 2-91 - 2-93 of the Signal Processing Toolbox tutorial or the online
help manual of the PC-MATLAB for more details.
