Abstract:
In signal processing, filters are used to remove unwanted portions of the signal, such as random noise, or to extract useful parts of the signal, such as the components lying within a specific frequency range. A reconfigurable FIR filter is a filter whose filter coefficients dynamically change during execution time. Such type of filters play an important role in many electronic circuits like digital up- down converters, software defined radio systems and multiple channel filters. Such systems should be highly reliable. This paper aims at developing a system that would be able to detect and correct the errors in the filter output automatically. This will be realized by making use of simple error correction codes.
