Improvement of rotated comb decimation filter magnitude characteristic using sharpening technique

[摘要] Decreasing of sampling rate in a digital form is called decimation. This process may introduce aliasing, i.e. non desired replicas of the main spectrum of the decimated signal. That is why we need the filter before decimation. This filter is called the decimation or antialiasing filter. The most popular decimation filter is comb filter which is usually used in the first stage of decimation. However it has a high passband droop and low attenuations in the folding bands. Different methods have been proposed to improve comb magnitude characteristic. The methods based on simple zero rotations have been proposed recently. In this paper we use the sharpening technique to improve both the passband and the stopband of comb filter with the rotated zeros. The method is compared with methods based on the rotation of zeros of comb filter.
