A Procedure for Quasi-Equiripple Linear-Phase IIR Filters Design

The linear-phase IIR filters are described in many cases, mainly due to distortion-free transmission of signals. One of the major problems of IIR filter design is stability, which can be obtained with suitable value of group delay τ This paper concerns calculation of filter order Ν and group delay τ in case of quasi-equiripple design of IIR filters. We propose a novel procedure for determining N and τ values; the procedure is valid for all types of filters with arbitrary number of zeros and a few non-zero poles. Evaluation of the proposed approach as well as examples illustrating its application are provided in the paper.
