Abstract

Classical filter design techniques return only one design from an infinite collection of alternative designs, or fail to design filters when solutions exist. Threse classical techniques hide a wealth of alternative filter designs that are more robust when implemented in digital hardware or embedded software. In this paper, we present (1) case students of optimal digital IIR filters that cannot be designed with classical techniques, and (2) the formal, mathematical framework that underlies their solutions. We have automated the advanced filter design techniques in software.
