Abstract

See full text

Electronic component resource utilization for certain digital filters may be significantly reduced by using a method for determining a set of coefficient words using a smaller word size. The disclosed method and/or apparatus may be used to determine an initial set of coefficient words for a digital filter for a predetermined frequency, a predetermined quality factor (“Q”), and a predetermined sampling frequency, and determining a gain error value for the digital filter for the set of coefficient words. If the determined gain error value is greater than a predetermined threshold, the quality factor may be modified by multiple predetermined amounts. The set of coefficient words may be redetermined using the modified quality factors as often as necessary until the gain error drops below the predetermined threshold.
