Application of amplitude transformation for compensation of comb decimation filters

Abstract

The design of compensation filters for comb decimators using amplitude transformation is introduced. It is shown that the transformation of cosine‐squared filters provides good compensation characteristics. For a first‐degree polynomial, the slope of the transformation line is explicitly set as the unique compensator's multiplierless coefficient. This coefficient changes proportionally with the increase of the comb passband droop. Thus, the proposed approach provides an intuitive and easy way of designing compensation filters.
