Design and Implementation of FIR Filters for Biomedical Applications

Abstract: Digital signal processing (DSP) greatly facilitates the continuous capture, monitoring, processing, and analysis of signals in real-world applications, particularly in biomedical or wearable devices. Within DSP systems, the design of Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters is pivotal. In scenarios demanding intricate calculations and high precision, higher-order filters are employed. Multipliers are crucial components in filter design, consuming significant chip space and introducing extra computation overhead. Designers strive to optimize multipliers to enhance performance. In this project we are going to design pipelined based FIR filter by applying pipelining concept to the FIR filter and following the previous implementations such as the FIR filter with high accuracy compared to existing method. The proposed system architectures are known to be efficient for real signal processing, offering advantages over conventional based designs. The proposed design is anticipated to yield benefits in terms of area, power consumption, and timing performance. The synthesis and simulation of the existing and proposed designs are implemented using Cadence Virtuoso.
