摘要
Digital filters are now key components in many modern digital systems. This paper proposed a novel evolutionary method to design structure-diversified digital filters. On the investigation of the existing evolution-based digital filter design methods, most state-of-the-art works concentrate on the evolution of appropriate transfer functions for digital filters. However, a transfer function is not equivalent to a practical digital filter that has proper structure and can be implemented by a hardware directly. Some researchers proposed a synthesis method to generate the structure of digital filter from a specified transfer function. However, this method needs an existing transfer function as the prior knowledge. Compared with existing works on the evolution of digital filters, the proposed method is novel at the following aspect: the proposed method can directly evolve the structure and parameters of digital filter without the pre-definition of the transfer function. The only prior knowledge we need is the specification of the design target, such as the frequency range of the passband and stop-band. In the experimental study, a significant characteristic is revealed that the proposed method is able to evolve structure-diversified filters with approximate frequency response. The proposed method is a prototype, and it is demonstrated to be a promising way of digital filter design.
