Abstract
We present a systematic procedure for the design of filters intended for multirate systems. This procedure is motivated by viewing the equiripple design of filters in linear time-invariant systems as a process of obtaining optimum minimax filters for a class of bounded energy input signals. The philosophy of designing optimum minimax filters for classes of input signals is extended to multirate systems, which are not time-invariant. We develop a generalized Fourier analysis appropriate for linear periodic systems and use it to derive new error criteria for multirate filter design. Using such criteria yields optimum minimax multirate filters for the input signal class. The utility of our method is demonstrated by using it to analyze several multirate systems. We give numerical results on the design of a multirate implementation of a narrowband filter and compare our work to previous work on multirate filter design. Our numerical analysis is based upon a new formulation of the design as a semi-infinite linear programming problem.
