A new digital recursive filter structure based on delta modulation encoding

It is pointed out that conventional digital filters, in which signal samples and filter coefficients are represented by 8- to 16-bit words, have some advantages for VLSI implementation due to the high hardware complexity of multibit multipliers. Incremental digital filters, based on delta modulation (DM) encoding, having emerged as a promising alternative to the conventional approach, because highly modular 'multiplier-free' structures can be built using incremental methods. A multiplier-free biquad filter structure is proposed which is suitable for VLSI implementation with low roundoff noise and low limit cycle operations.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
