The document discusses the Cascade Integrator Comb (CIC) filter, a highly efficient digital filter used in multi-rate signal processing. Key features include:
1. **Efficiency**: The filter coefficients are all 1, eliminating the need for storage and multiplication, which reduces resource usage.
2. **Structure**: The filter's structure allows for flexible interpolation factors without affecting overall design.
### Components:
- **Integrator**:
- Time domain representation: \( y_1(n) = x(n) + y_1(n-1) \)
- Frequency domain representation: \( H_1(e^{jw}) = \frac{1}{1 - e^{-jw}} \)
- The integrator has infinite gain for DC signals and only poles at \( \omega = 2k\pi \).
- **Comb Filter**:
- Time domain representation: \( y_C(n) = x(n) - x(n - RM) \)
- Frequency domain representation: \( H_C(z) = 1 - z^{-RM} \)
- It has only zeros and no poles.
### CIC Filter Characteristics:
- The single-stage CIC filter's amplitude spectrum is given by:
\[
|H_{CIC}(e^{j\omega})| = \left|\frac{\sin\left(\frac{RM}{2}w\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{w}{2}\right)}\right|
\]
- The filter achieves zero-pole cancellation, with a main lobe width determined by \( RM \).
- Side lobe suppression and stopband attenuation can be improved by cascading multiple CIC stages.
### Design Considerations:
- Increasing the number of stages enhances side lobe suppression and stopband attenuation but may worsen passband ripple.
- The maximum gain of a multi-stage CIC filter is \( G_{max} = (RM)^N \), influencing output bit width.
