LTH Band Filter
LTH Band Filter
where, obviously, the filter length N is an odd number,
N = 2K +1.
Since the filter is of a linear phase, the impulse response coefficients are symmetric,
h[2K n]= h[n] for n = 0, 1, , 2K.
The frequency response of a linear-phase filter is expressible in the form
H(
)=
H()
where H() is the zero-phase frequency response given by
H()=
The filter H(z) is an Lth-band filter if the impulse response coefficients satisfy the following
conditions
h[K]=1 L, h[K rL]= 0 for r =1,2, , K L ,
where [x] stands for the integer part of x. Figure 7.1(a) illustrates the above conditions for the
case K =10 and L = 4. Here, the value of the central coefficient h[10] is exactly 1/L = 1/4, and the
zero crossings occur at n = 10 4, and n = 10 8.
Equation (7.6) defines the time-domain conditions for the Lth-band filter. It was proved by
Mintzer(1982) that filters satisfying the time-domain conditions defined by (7.6) satisfy also the
following condition in the frequency domain
