Fixed-Point Filters

Fixed-point filter design

You can model fixed-point signal processing filtering algorithms and analyze the effects of quantization on system behavior and performance using the DSP System Toolbox™ and Fixed-Point Designer™ functionality. For a list of DSP System Toolbox System objects that support fixed-point operations, see System Objects in DSP System Toolbox that Support Fixed-Point Design. For a list of DSP System Toolbox blocks that support fixed-point operations, use the showsignalblockdatatypetable function.

Cochlear Implant Speech Processor

Simulate the design of a cochlear implant that can be placed in the inner ear of a profoundly deaf person to restore partial hearing. Signal processing is used in cochlear implant development to convert sound to electrical pulses. The pulses can bypass the damaged parts of a deaf person's ear and be transmitted to the brain to provide partial hearing.

Design and Analysis of a Digital Down Converter

Use the digital down converter (DDC) System object™ to emulate the TI Graychip 4016 digital down converter in a simple manner. We base the example on a comparison with the GSM Digital Down Converter example. We show how the DDC System object can be used to design and analyze the decimation filters and to quickly explore different design options that meet various passband and stopband frequency and attenuation specifications. This example requires a Fixed-Point Designer™ license.
