Complex Correction of Data Acquisition Channels Using FIR Equalizer Filters
نویسنده
چکیده
The common conviction about FIR (finite impulse response) digital filters is that the number of necessary taps, to reach the same performance as provided by IIR (infinite impulse response) digital filters, is usually too large. Moreover, the standard FIR filter design algorithm (Remez exchange) allows the design of linear-phase filters only. Therefore, IIR filters are often preferred over FIR ones, without any further investigations. This paper presents a case study of complex (amplitude and phase) equalization of the passband of a commercial anti-aliasing filter. The novelty is the usage of an FIR filter for this purpose (or an FIR one, combined with a low-order IIR filter), and a thorough discussion of the special design aspects. It turns out that for the given anti-aliasing filter (a Cauer filter of order 11) an FIR filter of length 60 . . . 100 can perform as well as a 26/26 (numerator order/denominator order) IIR one. The properties are even better if a low-order IIR filter is used in combination with an FIR one (orders, e.g., 1/1 + 40/0). Because of the absence of stability problems and the ease of implementation, the use of FIR filters is suggested. Keywords-Equalization, compensation, signal conditioning, data acquisition channel, correction filter, digital filter design, FIR filter approximation in complex domain.

Filter design for MIMO sampling and reconstruction
We address the problem of FIR equalizer filter design for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) linear time-invariant channels with uniform sampling at the channel outputs. This scheme encompasses Papoulis’ generalized sampling and several nonuniform sampling schemes as special cases. The input signals are modeled as either continuous-time or discrete-time multi-band input signals, with differe...
متن کاملEqualization of Data Acquisition Channels Using Digital Filters
The possibility of the compensation of amplitude and phase errors of data acquisition channels is investigated. The complex passband error can be signiicantly reduced by an appropriate digital lter, as it is illustrated on the example of a dynamic signal analyzer. The aspects of IIR and FIR equalizers are studied: it turns out that for the given anti-aliasing lter (Cauer lter, order 11) an FIR ...
متن کاملEqualization of Loudspeaker and Room Responses Using Kautz Filters: Direct Least Squares Design
DSP-based correction of loudspeaker and room responses is becoming an important part of improving sound reproduction. Such response equalization (EQ) is based on using a digital filter in cascade with the reproduction channel to counteract the response errors introduced by loudspeakers and room acoustics. Several FIR and IIR filter design techniques have been proposed for equalization purposes....

The problem of channel shortening equalization for optimal detection in ISI channels is considered. The problem is to choose a linear equalizer and a partial response target filter such that the combination produces the best detection performance. Instead of using the traditional approach of MMSE equalization, we directly seek all equalizer and target pairs that yield optimal detection performa...
متن کاملAn MMSE Infinite Impulse Response Equalizer for Perpendicular Recording Channels with Jitter Noise
A finite impulse response (FIR) equalizer is practically employed in conjunction with the Viterbi detector for data detection process in magnetic recording channels. However, the FIR equalizer with a large number of taps is required at high density storage channels. It is well-known that an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter with a small number of taps can closely approximate such an FIR fi...
