Assignment-4

Date: 11.11.2016. To be submitted by 18.11.2016.

(The following questions are directly from the Exercise Problems 10.31 and 10.32 of the
book Digital Signal Processing by S. K. Mitra, 3rd Edition.)

Q1. In the frequency sampling approach of FIR filter design, the specified frequency

H d e j k 2 k M ,
response is first uniformly sampled at M equally spaced points

0 k M 1,
H k H d e jk
providing M frequency samples . These M frequency
H k
samples constitute an M-point DFT , whose M-point inverse-DFT thus yields the
h n
impulse response coefficients of the FIR filter of length M [Gol69a]. The basic
assumption here is that the specified frequency response is uniquely characterized by the M
frequency samples and, hence, can be fully recovered from these samples.

H z
a) Show that the transfer function of the FIR filter can be expressed as

1 zM M 1 H k
H z

1 W k z 1
k 0 M

b) Develop a realization of the FIR filter based on the above expression.

c) Show that the frequency response of the FIR filter designed via the frequency

H e j k H k
sampling-based approach has exactly specified frequency samples
at k 2 k M , 0 k M 1

Q2. Let denote the desired magnitude response of a real linear-phase FIR filter of
length M.
