Complex bandpass to complex bandpass frequency transformation
effectively places two features of an original filter, located at frequencies
Wo1 and
Wo2, at the required target frequency locations
Wt1 and
Wt2. It is assumed that
Wt2 is greater than
Wt1. In most of the cases the features
selected for the transformation are the band edges of the filter passbands. In general it is
possible to select any feature; e.g., the stopband edge, the DC, the deep minimum in the
stopband, or other ones.
Frequencies must be normalized to be between -1 and 1, with 1 corresponding to half the
sample rate.
Relative positions of other features of an original filter do not change in the target
filter. This means that it is possible to select two features of an original filter,
F1 and
F2, with
F1 preceding
F2. Feature
F1 will still precede
F2 after the transformation. However, the
distance between F1 and
F2 will not be the same before and after the
transformation.
This transformation can also be used for transforming other types of filters; e.g.,
complex notch filters or resonators can be repositioned at two distinct desired frequencies
at any place around the unit circle. This is very attractive for adaptive systems.
