<p>A digital finite impulse response (FIR) filter for compensation of Nyquist slope in a pseudo-synchronous demodulator has a plurality of individual FIR filters coupled in series, having a bandpass filtered intermediate frequency video signal as an input and providing a broadband video signal as an output. The individual FIR filter amplitude responses represent each product term of the following polynomial: <MATH> where F is the number of individual FIR filters in the series and x=( omega m- omega )/ omega t, omega m being the modulation frequency and omega t being a deviation frequency. The register delay value for each of the individual FIR filters is obtained heuristically to achieve optimum quality as a compromise between performance and hardware complexity, and the number of individual FIR filters is determined by convolving each individual FIR filter with prior individual FIR filters in the series until the overall performance meets frequency response requirements. <IMAGE></p> |
