Design and Implementation of Third Order Low Pass Digital FIR Filter using Pipelining Retiming Technique

This paper presents design and implementation of 3rd order low pass digital FIR filter using pipelining retiming technique. Aim of this paper is to apply pipelining retiming technique on low pass digital FIR filter and compare with the existing second order retimed FIR filter and third order broadcast, non-broadcast low pass FIR filter. MATLAB FDA tool is used to calculate digital FIR filter coefficients. Hamming and Kaiser window methods are used to find out the coefficients of the FIR filter. Broadcast and non broadcast third order low pass FIR filter architectures are used for pipelining retiming .Cutset and feed forward pipelining retiming techniques are used to retime the third order low pass digital FIR filter. We design our algorithm in VHDL and implemented on Xilinx Vivado xc7a35tcpg261-1. Area (LUT), speed and power are calculated using Xilinx Vivado 2015.2 tool. Synthesis and simulation results are discussed in this paper. Speed and area (LUT) of proposed third order low pass FIR filter is improved in comparison with existing designs.

FPGA Based Performance Analysis of Multistage CIC Decimation Filter Design with former CIC Filter for WiMAX Applications

The motto of this paper is to design and realize decimation filter using CIC filter. The main drawback of this filter is there is large droop in pass band and very less attenuation in stop band. So, to improve the frequency response of CIC filter we go for two stage realization of CIC filter. At the initial stage we use CIC filter and in the last stage we use Kaiser Window and improve the characteristics of filter design. When we design a filter using multistage methodology the order of the filter as well as power also decreases. Tools used are MATLAB Simulink Model and Xilinx system generator and realization is done on Virtex V-XC5VLX110T-3ff136. In this paper the proposed two stage realization is compared with respect to two stages Kaiser window realization in the terms of number of LUT’s required, slices as well as power dissipation and improvements in frequency response with respect to conventional CIC filter are compared
