    This document discusses Lth-band digital filters, which are digital filters with a cutoff frequency of π/L. Lth-band filters have zeros at multiples of L samples from the center of the impulse response. They are important for digital communication systems due to their zero intersymbol interference property. The document focuses on linear-phase FIR Lth-band filters, defining their transfer function and properties, including that the central impulse response coefficient is 1/L and other coefficients are zero at multiples of L samples from the center.

    INTRODUCTION
    Digital Lth-band FIR and IIR filters are the special classes of digital filters, which are of particular
    interest both in single-rate and multirate signal processing. The common characteristic of Lth-
    band lowpass filters is that the 6 dB (or 3 dB) cutoff angular frequency is located at /L, and the
    transition band is approximately symmetric around this frequency. In time domain, the impulse
    response of an Lth-band digital filter has zero valued samples at the multiples of L samples
    counted away from the central sample to the right and left directions. Actually, an Lth-band
    filter has the zero crossings at the regular distance of L samples thus satisfying the so-called
    zero intersymbol interference property. Sometimes the Lthband filters are called the Nyquist
    filters.
    The important benefit in applying Lth band FIR and IIR filters is the efficient implementation,
    particularly
    in the case L = 2 when every second coefficient in the transfer function is zero valued.
    Due to the zero intersymbol interference property, the Lth-band filters are very important for
    digital communication transmission systems. Another application is the construction of Hilbert
    transformers, which are used to generate the analytical signals. The Lth-band filters are also
    used as prototypes in constructing critically sampled multichannel filter banks. They are very
    popular in the sampling rate alteration systems as well, where they are used as decimation and
    interpolation filters in single-stage and multistage systems.
    Lth-BAND LINEAR-PHASE FIR FILTERS: DEFINITIONS AND PROPERTIES
    In this section, we consider the basic properties of the linear-phase Lth-band FIR filters. The filter
    transfer
    function H(z) of such a filter can be expressed in the form

    H(z)=




    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
