Description
Summary:This paper investigates the optimal design of allpass variable fractional delay (VFD) filters with coefficients expressed as sums of signed powers-of-two terms, where the weighted integral squared error is the cost function to be minimized. The design can be classified as an integer programming problem. To solve this problem, a new procedure is proposed to generate a reduced discrete search region to decrease the computational complexity. A new exact penalty function method is developed to solve the optimal design problem for allpass VFD filter with signed powers-of-two coefficients. Design examples show that the proposed method can achieve a higher accuracy when compared with the quantization method.
