DSP Builder: Half-Band Filter With Reloadable Coefficients
The design example describes an interpolation by two half-band filter with 79 taps (40 none-zero coefficients). Taking advantage of the symmetrical filter coefficients and the concept of time-domain multiplexing (TDM), the design requires only 10 multipliers. The multipliers are implemented using distributed arithmetic (DA) where the partial products are stored in the M4K TriMatrix memory blocks. The design also supports reloading of the filter coefficients.
The coefficients are stored as partial products in the M4K TriMatrix memory blocks. The M4K memory blocks are configured as 128x32 dual-port RAMs. To reload a new coefficient set, assert the coef_reload bit and keep it high throughout the entire reload period. The partial products for the coefficients need to be pre-computed. Refer to the compute_partial_product.m script for details. While reloading the coefficients, the filtering operation is halted.

- HBF_DA_TDM_Reloadable_Coef.mdl—DSP Builder design file implementing the interpolating half-band filter with reloadable coefficients
- init.m—MATLAB script to initialize the sampling time, and simulation time and coefficients. The script also generates the stimuli: chirp and impulse.
- compute_partial_product.m—MATLAB script to calculate the partial products based on the initial filter coefficient values set in init.m. Two sets of partial products are calculated for each coefficient value: one for the MSB segment and the other for the LSB segment of the data. Since the design uses TDM, each LUT stores the partial product for two coefficients.
