Abstract

A computationally efficient interpolation filter with a low-distortion performance is a key component to utilize the naturally-sampled pulse width modulation (NPWM) in a digital domain. To realize the efficient interpolation filter, we propose a novel design based on the recently-proposed modified Farrow filter. The proposed filter shows a better pass-band distortion performance maintaining similar degree of complexity compared with the conventional Lagrange interpolation filter. We achieve the maximum distortion deviation of 10-3 dB to 20-kHz audible frequency range and distortion reduction of 1/6 times compared with the Lagrange interpolation filter.

자연 샘플링 펄스폭 변조 방식을 디지털 영역에서 적용하기 위해서는 왜곡성능이 우수하고 계산 량이 적은 보간 필터가 필수적이다. 이를 위하여 본 논문에서는 변형된 패로우 구조를 기반으로 한 새로운 형태의 보간 필터를 제안 및 설계한다. 제안된 필터는 아날로그 신호 추정을 위해 단지 4개의 주변 샘플 값만을 필요로 하는 단순화된 구조를 가지므로 기존의 라그랑지 보간 필터와 비슷한 복잡도를 유지하면서 더 우수한 통과 대역 왜곡 특성을 보인다. 설계된 보간 필터를 이용하여 20 kHz 의 가청 주파수 대역에서 10-3 dB 의 최대 왜곡 편차를 달성하여 기존의 라그랑지 보간 방식과 비교하여 1/6 정도 감소된 최대 왜곡 편차 특성을 실현하였다.
