Design of digital filters with general hardware constraints by mean field annealing
Per Inge Persson, Sven Nordebo, Ingvar Claesson · 2002
The mean field annealing (MFA) algorithm is presented as an efficient tool to design digital filters with discrete coefficients and hardware constraints. As an application example the algorithm is used to design a finite wordlength digital filter with a simple hardware constraint. The ability of the deterministic MFA algorithm to approximate the mean behavior of the stochastic simulated annealing algorithm is indicated by numerical results.
