matlab中的firpm,Parks-McClellan optimal FIR filter design

Algorithms

firpm designs a linear-phase FIR filter using the Parks-McClellan

algorithm [2]. The Parks-McClellan algorithm uses the Remez

exchange algorithm and Chebyshev approximation theory to design filters with an optimal

fit between the desired and actual frequency responses. The filters are optimal in the

sense that the maximum error between the desired frequency response and the actual

frequency response is minimized. Filters designed this way exhibit an equiripple

behavior in their frequency responses and are sometimes called equiripple filters.

firpm exhibits discontinuities at the head and tail of its

impulse response due to this equiripple nature.

These are type I (n odd) and type II (n even)

linear-phase filters. Vectors f and a specify

the frequency-amplitude characteristics of the filter:

f is a vector of pairs of frequency
