Abstract
A filter and method for filtering a signal are disclosed. The filter is equivalent to a plurality of bi-quad filters connected in series, and is implemented on a digital processor that receives a sequence of signal values at a sampling rate characterized by a sampling interval and generates a filtered signal value upon receiving each received signal value. The filter has a latency that is less than the sampling interval. The filtered values can be generated by adding a term to a received signal value and multiplying the sum by a gain constant that depends on the filter constants. The added term does not depend on the current received signal value. The filter can be implemented in fixed-point integer arithmetic.
