Regarding DC removal filter. - neelufar.2005 - 07:17 31-07-07

Hello,

Currently I am searching about DC removal filter, I could understand that
we can use an FIR high pass filter to remove the DC. Can any one please
help me to get a document which gives the specifications required to
design a FIR high pass for DC removal. It is very urgent. Please help me
in this regard.

Thanks,
Neelufar.

The FIR with impulse response h = [1 -1] removes DC.

Depending on your needs a moving average filter with spectral inversion 
may be sufficient too.

[1 -1] also differentiates the signal, which I'm sure is not wanted.

An FIR will be costly because the number of taps is proportional to the 
lowest significant period and the sharpness of the transition. 
Frequencies close to DC need lots of taps. Only a need for strict phase 
linearity down to near the cutoff justify an FIR.

Any high-pass filter removes DC. The simplest is IIR.

Could the filtering be done in the analog domain before the A/D converter?

Do you know of any ADCs with zero DC offset? It is usually a good idea 
to remove most of the DC in the analogue domain, so it doesn't eat up 
the range of the ADC. However, a final digital DC elimination is 
typically needed, too.

It was a provocation aimed at the OP to extract more information about
the filter requirements.

BTW, what makes you sure?

Not if there's any offset in the converter. At least some bipolar 
converters are offset unipolar devices with the MSB inverted to convert 
offset binary to two's complement. If the offset isn't perfect, that's 
equivalent to DC injection. There other way for the fault to arise in 
the converter. After all, the signal is only digital after the converter 
has digitized it. The converter's front end is analog.

Hi Marcel,
   I don't understand your DC-removal 
scheme.  As far as I know, there's no 
low-computation linear-phase way to 
remove (attenuate) DC.  If you have 
some sort of "neat" way to do so, 
we'd sure like to hear more about your 
method.

Thanks,
[-Rick-]
