dsp.CICCompensationInterpolator - Compensate for CIC interpolation filter using FIR interpolator - MATLAB (original) (raw)

Compensate for CIC interpolation filter using FIR interpolator

Description

You can compensate for the shortcomings of a CIC interpolator, namely its passband droop and wide transition region, by preceding it with a compensation interpolator. This System object™ lets you design and use such a filter.

To compensate for the shortcomings of a CIC filter using an FIR interpolator:

  1. Create the dsp.CICCompensationInterpolator object and set its properties.
  2. Call the object with arguments, as if it were a function.

To learn more about how System objects work, see What Are System Objects?

Creation

Syntax

Description

`ciccompint` = dsp.CICCompensationInterpolator returns a System object, ciccompint, that applies an FIR interpolator to each channel of an input signal. Using the properties of the object, the interpolation filter can be designed to compensate for a subsequent CIC filter.

`ciccompint` = dsp.CICCompensationInterpolator(`interp`) returns a CIC compensation interpolator System object, ciccompint, with theInterpolationFactor property set tointerp.

`ciccompint` = dsp.CICCompensationInterpolator(`cic`) returns a CIC compensation interpolator System object, ciccompint, with theCICRateChangeFactor, CICNumSections, andCICDifferentialDelay properties specified in thedsp.CICInterpolator System objectcic.

`ciccompint` = dsp.CICCompensationInterpolator(`cic`,`interp`) returns a CIC compensation interpolator System object, ciccompint, with theCICRateChangeFactor, CICNumSections, andCICDifferentialDelay properties specified in thedsp.CICInterpolator System objectcic, and the InterpolationFactor property set tointerp.

`ciccompint` = dsp.CICCompensationInterpolator(___,`Name=Value`) sets properties using one or more name-value arguments. For example, to specify the rate-change factor of the CIC filter being compensated as 8, set CICRateChangeFactor as 8.

Unless otherwise indicated, properties are nontunable, which means you cannot change their values after calling the object. Objects lock when you call them, and therelease function unlocks them.

If a property is tunable, you can change its value at any time.

For more information on changing property values, seeSystem Design in MATLAB Using System Objects.

Specify the rate-change factor of the CIC filter being compensated as a positive integer scalar. The default is 2.

Fixed-Point Properties

Rounding method for output fixed-point operations, specified as a character vector. For more information on the rounding modes, see Precision and Range.

Word and fraction lengths of coefficients, specified as a signed or unsignednumerictype object. The default,numerictype(1,16) corresponds to a signed numeric type object with 16-bit coefficients and a fraction length determined based on the coefficient values, to give the best possible precision.

This property is not tunable.

Word length of the output is same as the word length of the input. Fraction length of the output is computed such that the entire dynamic range of the output can be represented without overflow. For details on how the fraction length of the output is computed, see Fixed-Point Precision Rules for Avoiding Overflow in FIR Filters.

Algorithms

The response of a CIC filter is given by:

R, D, and N are the rate change factor, the differential delay, and the number of sections in the CIC filter, respectively.

After decimation, the CIC response has the form:

The normalized version of this last response is the one that the CIC compensator needs to compensate. Hence, the passband response of the CIC compensator should take the following form:

where _ω_p is the passband frequency of the CIC compensation filter.

Notice that when ω/2_R_ ≪ π, the previous equation for Hciccomp(ω) can be simplified using the fact that sin(x) ≅ x:

This previous equation is the inverse sinc approximation to the true inverse passband response of the CIC filter.

Starting in R2025a, the Filter Design HDL Coder™ product is discontinued. So, this object no longer supports HDL code generation and the generatehdl function.

When you set the NormalizedFrequency property totrue, you must specify the passband frequency and stopband frequency in normalized frequency units (0 to 1). For more information, see the NormalizedFrequency property description.
