Digital FIR Filter Design using Windowing Method

A linear phase finite impulse response(FIR) filter was designed using Scilab. Filters like stop band and pass band attenuation and stop band and pass band frequency are taken as input from the user.There are different window functions that can be used like Hamming Window, Bartlet Window, Hanning Window, Blackman Window,etc. The window function used in this experiment is Hanning window.the formula is input in the Scilab code and then the program is executed.

  1. The window function is selected based upon the value of the passband attenuation.

    1. Rectangular window has lowest attenuation and blackman has highest attenuation

  2. As we go from rectangular window function to hanning window, we get smoother response which reduces Gibbs phenomenon.

  3. Blackman window has maximum attenuation

  4. More memory required for the storage
    of coefficients of FIR filter

  5. Blackman window is the best for designing higher order precise filters due to its high value of As.

  6. It is preferred for wideband signals

    1. Yes. An example is rectangular window is a sinc function

  8. Transition width should be small, so order will be small and cost will reduce
