COEFFICIENT QUANTIZATION EFFECTS ON NEW FILTERS BASED ON CHEBYSHEV FOURTH-KIND POLYNOMIALS

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to construct non-recursive filters, extensively used type of digital filters in digital signal processing applications, based on Chebyshev orthogonal polynomials. The paper proposes the use of the fourth-kind Chebyshev polynomials as functions in generating new filters. In this kind, low-pass filters with linear phase responses are obtained. Comprenhansive study of the frequency response characteristics of the generated filter functions is presented. The effects of coefficient quantization as one type of quantization that influences a filter characteristic are investigated here also. The quantized-coefficient errors are considered based on the number of bits and the implementation algorithm
