Cascade Equivalences

interconnection of the up-sampler, the

LTI digital filter

in a cascade form

branches in a cascade often can lead to a
computationally efficient realization

Filters in Sampling Rate
Alteration Systems
Alteration Systems
From the
sampling theorem
sampling theorem it is known that
a the sampling rate of a critically sampled
discrete-time signal with a spectrum
occupying the full Nyquist range cannot be
reduced any further since such a reduction
will introduce aliasing
Hence, the bandwidth of a critically

sampled signal must be reduced by
lowpass

filtering
filtering before its sampling rate is reduced
by a down-sampler
38
Alteration Systems
Alteration Systems
Likewise, the zero-valued samples

introduced by an up-sampler must be
interpolated to more appropriate values for
an effective sampling rate increase
We shall show next that this interpolation

can be achieved simply by digital lowpass
filtering
We now develop the frequency response

specifications of these lowpass filters
39
Filter Specifications
Since up-sampling causes periodic

repetition of the basic spectrum, the
unwanted images in the spectra of the up-
sampled signal must be removed by
using a lowpass filter H(z), called the
interpolation filter

Filters for Fractional Sampling
Rate Alteration
Rate Alteration
A fractional change in the sampling rate can

be achieved by cascading a factor-of-M
decimator with a factor-of-L interpolator,
where M and L are positive integers
Such a cascade is equivalent to a decimator

with a decimation factor of M/L or an
interpolator with an interpolation factor of
L/M
49

51
Computational Requirements
The lowpass decimation or interpolation

filter can be designed either as an FIR or an
IIR digital filter
In the case of single-rate digital signal

processing,
IIR digital filters
IIR digital filters are, in general,
computationally more efficient than
equivalent FIR digital filters, and are
therefore preferred where computational
cost needs to be minimized
52
This issue is not quite the same in the case

of multirate digital signal processing
To illustrate this point further, consider the

factor-of-M decimator shown below
If the decimation filter H(z) is an FIR filter

of length N implemented in a direct form,
then

m n x m h n v ] [ ] [ ] [
53
Now, the down-sampler keeps only every

M-th sample of v[n] at its output
Hence, it is sufficient to compute v[n] only

for values of n that are multiples of M and
skip the computations of in-between
samples
This leads to a factor of M savings in the

computational complexity
54
Now assume H(z) to be an IIR filter of

order K with a transfer function

However, the intermediate signal w[n] must

be computed for all values of n
For example, in the computation of

K+1 successive values of w[n] are still
required
As a result, the savings in the computation

in this case is going to be less than a factor
of M

For the case of interpolator design, very

similar arguments hold
If H(z) is an FIR interpolation filter, then

the computational savings is by a factor of L
(since v[n] has zeros between its
consecutive nonzero samples)
On the other hand, computational savings is

significantly less with IIR filters
