Abstract
A system and method for a simultaneous multi-band block-stop filter is disclosed. The block-stop filter provides rapid filtering of an input data stream by simultaneously comparing a plurality of data band components to the low threshold, associated with the band of which the particular data band component is a member, and then simultaneously comparing the plurality of data band components to an associated high threshold. The block-stop filter can also improve performance by parallelizing the act of storing the filtered data band components into the output data stream.
