Abstract

Using multistage filter architectures for the efficient implementation of multirate filters is well known [1]. In conventional implementations it is assumed that the decimation and interpolation factors are the products of the respective factors for each individual stage and are therefore composite numbers. This paper describes a generalized rate change finite impulse response (FIR) filter architecture based on a cascade of single stage rate change filter building blodcs which allows the decimation and interpolation factors to be prime numbers while preserving the multistage efficiency. Also descrided in this paper are the degenerate cases of a generalized decimator and a generalized interpolator.
