Abstract
A finite impulse response (FIR) digital filter (100, 170, 175, 180) incorporates both symmetric and transposed structures in a configuration that suites ASIC implementation. The filter coefficients can be arranged in ascending order to implement coefficient block floating point, or in descending order. To further facilitate coefficient block floating point, filter coefficients are chosen so that each cell has an exponent value equal to or greater than that of a preceding cell. A right shift is provided between adjacent cells to equate the exponent value of a sum output of a preceding cell with that of the succeeding cell. Variable decimation is provided by downloading appropriate filter coefficient and adjusting a decimation forward clock. Multiple channels can also be accommodated.
