Design of Low Power Transversal FIR Filter For VLSI Signal Processing Applications

An efficient novel technique of synthesis of a low arithmetic complexity, linear phase low pass FIR filter is proposed .The output response is modeled using trigonometric functions of frequency and its slopes. This approach has the advantages of ease of computation of the impulse response and reduction in the Gibb’s phenomenon. The synthesized filter proves to be a good alternative to the existing FIR filters. This paper deals with the design of 16-tap FIR filter and proposed work has been done using Xilinx ISE 9.2i evaluating the performance by the synthesis report and shown the synthesizes RTL schematic along with the simulation results.
