CSE467 Lab4: Large Filter Exploration

 

Variables:

            Low-pass filter frequency upper bound

            High-pass filter frequency lower bound

            Bit precision of the filter coefficients

            Number of taps

 

Initial assumptions:

            Samples are 20 bits

            Low-pass filter frequency upper bound is 3 KHz

 

1.  Band width

 

(3 dB frequency – 15 dB frequency) for the low-pass filter

(15 dB frequency – 3 dB frequency) for the high-pass filter

 

Small variations between tap-coefficient bit widths of 8+

Large variations between tap-coefficient bit widths of 5-

 

 

Assumption:

            Good bit width sizes would be 6, 7, or 8

 

2.  Total band width between the 3 dB points of the low-pass filter and the high-pass filter

 

            Linear trend: as Tap number increases the unavailable band width decreases

           

            Error bars indicate the frequency difference between 15 dB points of the high-pass and low-pass filters
