Abstract

Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters are often used in digital signal processing. Commonly used methods for designing these filters in a general way fail to converge for filter sizes greater than a few hundred coefficients.

In this report we describe a method to compute large (up to several thousand elements) low-pass FIR filters, extending the frequency response of a smaller filter computed with the standard Remez method.
