Enriching the Art of FIR Filter Design via Convex Optimization

The effective design of FIR filters requires judicious compromises to be made between competing properties of the filter. As we have argued herein, when those properties lie in a rich class of design criteria that are convex in the design variables, the inherent tradeoffs between these properties, and filters that attain these tradeoffs, can be reliably obtained. Furthermore, some recently developed software provides a platform that enables …
