Design of nonlinear phase FIR digital filters using quadratic programming
Markus Lang · 2002
This paper presents two methods for the design of FIR filters with arbitrary magnitude and phase responses according to a weighted mean squared error criterion with constraints on the resulting magnitude and phase errors. This constrained least square criterion allows for an arbitrary trade-off between pure L/sub 2/ filters and Chebyshev filters. The resulting nonlinear optimization problem is either converted into a standard quadratic programming problem (method 1) or exactly solved by a sequence of quadratic programs (method 2). The quadratic programming problems can be solved efficiently using standard software.
