Computation Delay
The group delay can be derived from the following equation. It is constant and depends
on the filter order.
Group delay = (Filter order – 1)/2
Unit: s/T
s
(where T
s
is the sampling frequency [s])
The computation delay can be derived from the following equation.
Computation delay = {4 + (filter order – 1)/2}×sampling period
However, if the sampling frequency exceeds 100 kHz, it is fixed to 100 kHz (10 µs).
It is also fixed to 100 kHz (10 µs) when in envelope mode.
