Abstract

This paper presents the multiplierless CIC compensation filter based on the 2M-order filter and the sharpening technique. This technique proposed by Kaiser and Hamming attempts to improve the pass band and the stop band of a symmetric nonrecursive filter using the multiple copies of the same filter. We have considered the simplest sharpening polynomial that improves the frequency characteristic with minimum increase in computational complexity. The proposed filter provides wideband compensation over the specified CIC main lobe bandwidth. The design parameter is a single integer b which depends on K, the number of cascade CIC stages and is independent on the decimation factor M. The values of b tabulated here were obtained from MATLAB simulations. A number of demonstrated characteristics make the proposed structure a good candidate for software defined radio (SDR) applications.
