Figure 62:  Interpolation/Antialiasing filter 
 
 
The filter shape remains the same no matter the resampling characteristics. For 
resampling ratios greater than 1.0, filter will implement an interpolator so nulls in the 
impulse response must be located at multiples of the sampling period of the input 
signal. For ratios lower than 1.0 the filter will implement an antialiasing filter. In this 
case, distance between nulls will have to be longer than the output waveform 
sampling period so the filter reaches the required attenuation (>80dB) at the output 
signal Nyquist frequency. For the implemented filter this is accomplished by 
choosing 0.89 ratio between the output sampling period and the distance between 
consecutive nulls in the filter’s impulse response.
