Practical Analog and Digital Filter Design(Artech House Microwave Library Series)

Master the most common analog and digital filter design and implementation methods with this hands-on new resource. The book explains in practical terms all the important derivations so you can apply them directly to your own filter design problems. Not only does it detail analog active and digital IIR and FIR filter design, the book also thoroughly treats implementation issues to steer you away from common design pitfalls.

Thede's (former designer for Motorola, now electrical and computer engineering, Ohio Northern U., Ada) text provides a detailed treatment of both analog and digital filter design and implementation, with over 40 examples given for illustration of the concepts. The CD-ROM contains WFilter, a Windows-based filter design software, and the three organized programs used to develop the WFilter source code. Methods for designing IIR and FIR filters and an introduction to discrete and fast Fourier transform are included. Appendices contain lists of references, filter design software and C code, C code for IIR and FIR filter design, and information on filtering sound files, among other information. Readers will need to know C programming and be familiar with the basic concepts of linear systems. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
