1 Abstract The main objective of this project is to study and design FIR and IIR filters; to achieve this goal FIR and IIR filters are designed and used to remove various types of noise from few biomedical signals obtained from the MIT database for biomedical signals.
2 Introduction The Digital Filter Design problem involves the determination of a set of filter coefficients to meet a set of design specifications. These specifications typically consist of the width of the passband and the corresponding gain, the width of the stopband(s) and the attenuation therein; the band edge frequencies (which give an indication of the transition band) and the peak ripple tolerable in the passband and stopband(s). Two types of digital filters exist according to their impulse response: • •
The FIR (Finite Impulse Response). The IIR (Infinite Impulse Response)
FIR filters possess certain properties, which make them the preferred design choices in numerous situations over IIR filters. Most notably, FIR filters (all zero system function) are always stable, with a realization existing for each FIR filter. Another feature exclusive to FIR filters is that of a linear phase response. The design of IIR filters is closely related to the design of analog filters, which is a widely studied topic. An analog filter is usually designed and a transformation is carried out into the digital domain. Two transformations exist – the impulse invariant transformation and the bilinear transformation. This project addresses the following topics: 1. Noise generation 2. FIR filters 3. FIR Filtering Using FFT 4. Butterworth and Chebyshev filters Matlab programs were developed to perform filtering on a real life biomedical signal from the MIT database. The filtration results were analyzed and then the analysis results are summarized in this report.
3 Technical Background A filter is a device which passes some signals 'more' than others. In this chapter a short background is given about designing FIR and IIR Digital filters.

3.1 FIR Filters The difference equation corresponding to the following block diagram x(n)
= unit delay
b(0)
b(M) y(n)
Figure 1: Ideal FIR Filter Implementation [Ref-3] is M
y (n ) = ∑ b(k )x(n − k ) k =0
This is called a feedforward or non-recursive, or transversal, or FIR filter, because it has a Finite Impulse Response (h (n) =0 for n>M). Such an Mth order FIR filter, has M+1 coefficients b(k), k=0,...,M. One of the M+1 degrees of freedom provided by M+ 1 coefficient is the overall filter gain. The other M determines the variation of gain with frequency. 3.2 Designing FIR Filters using the Fourier Series Method Given the desired frequency response H(Ω) of a filter, we can compute an appropriate inverse Fourier transform to obtain its ideal impulse response. Since the coefficients of an FIR filter equate to its impulse response, this would produce an “ideal” FIR filter. However, this “ideal” impulse is not actually constrained to be of finite length, and it may be non-causal (i.e. have non-zero response at negative time). Somehow we must generate an impulse response which is of limited duration, and causal. In more detail, H(Ω) (which is periodic in Ω with period 2π) can be represented using a Fourier series representation
H (Ω ) =
∞
∑ h(k )exp(− jkΩ)
k = −∞
in which the h(k) are computed from H(Ω) using the standard formula for Fourier series coefficients: π 1 h(k ) = H (Ω ) exp( jkΩ )dΩ 2π −∫π If the "ideal" filter coefficients h(k) are to be real-valued, then H(Ω) must be conjugate symmetric, i.e. H(-Ω) = H*(Ω) . We will consider the simplest case, a frequency response which is pure real (zero phase), and therefore symmetric about zero frequency.
Because of this, the bilinear z-transform is well suited to the task of converting classic analog filter into a digital IIR model which preserves the shape of the magnitude frequency response of the parent analog system. 3.5.2 Design of Digital Filters using the bilinear transform.
