A Review of Digital FIR Filter Design in Communication Systems

: In signal processing, a finite impulse response (FIR) filter settles to zero in finite time. FIR filters can be discrete-time or continuous-time, and digital or analog. FIR filter is widely used in various signal processing and image processing applications because of less area, low cost, low power, and high operation speed. An FIR filter is usually implemented by using a series of delays, multipliers, and adders to create the filter's output. We concentrate on the following three categories: frequency sampling methods, windowing-based methods, and optimization-based methods. We also focus on the communications system, including transmissions equipment, relay stations, tributary stations, and other data terminal equipment. A communications system can even include other communications systems.A good example would be a regional emergency response communications system that connects several different cities and allows them to respond to a disaster by integrating systems they have installed for their police and firefighters. In the end,theperformances of severalFIR design methods are assessed. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in finite impulse response (FIR) filter design methods in communication systems.
