Abstract

This paper presents a new technique for designing IIR filters that have minimum deviation from equiripple response. The algorithm is also able to find transfer functions with unequal numerator and denominator orders, which are suitable for both digital and analog IIR sampled-data realizations. Elliptic filters are produced as a particular case, when equal numerator and denominator orders are specified. Pole-zero mapping is used for scalar update of optimization parameters, thereby reducing the algorithm complexity. Zeros are structurally allocated on the unit circumference for efficient stopband shaping. Moreover, filter stability is easily enforced by restricting the radii of the poles to be lower than 1. A Taylor series expansion is employed to determine the step size of the parameter updates. The proposed approach is based on evaluations of partial cost functions to avoid local minima, and hence increase the robustness and the convergence rate of the optimization process. Design examples are shown to illustrate the efficacy of the proposed design technique, compared to alternative design techniques.
