# The following is a Python/scipy snippet to generate the
# coefficients for a halfband filter. A halfband filter
# is a filter where the cutoff frequency is Fs/4 and every
# other coeffecient is zero except the cetner tap.
# Note: every other (even except 0) is 0, most of the coefficients
# will be close to zero, force to zero actual
