 Advantages of equiripple filter

-Equiripple filters can minimize the maximum approximation error between ideal impulse and
actual impulse

Approximation error is uniformly distributed in both the passband and stopband

Lower-order filters
 Equiripple filter implementation steps
Using remez function built-in Matlab:
1. Estimate the length of filter M
2. Guess extremal frequencies omega_i (with i = 1:L+2) and estimating the maximum error delta at these freqs.
1. Find a L-th polynomial that fits
2. Find new polynomials of omega_i by interpolating polynomials
3. Iteration
4. Compute a(i) & beta(i) co-efficients

Equiripple

Comments: From above table, we can easily find an equiripple filter as the best filter in terms of complexity implementation with
M=33. This equiripple filter satisfies required specifications & tradeoffs
