Abstract

A method and system for the design and implementation of filters is presented in which the filter's transfer function can be provided with a significant insensitivity to the filter's tap coefficient values. A desensitized digital filter includes a first halfband filter and a second filter coupled in cascade between an input of the digital filter and the output of the digital filter. In embodiments, the first filter has the transfer function F(z)=K(1+z⁻¹)(1+z⁻¹) wherein K≠0 is a scale factor. The digital filter may also interact with an up-sampler or a down-sampler. A desensitized Hilbert transformer includes an FIR filter having filter-tap coefficients whose absolute values equal the absolute values of the coefficients of an FIR filter F(z) for which the product (1+z⁻¹)F(z) is a halfband filter coupled in cascade with a second filter.
