Extra exam question E7F14
Subelement E7, PRACTICAL CIRCUITS· Group E7F
Which of the following would allow a digital signal processing filter to create a sharper filter response?
- A.Higher data rate
- B.More taps (correct answer)
- C.Lower Q
- D.Double-precision math routines
WhyAdding more taps allows a digital signal processing filter to create a sharper filter response. Adding more taps to a digital signal processing filter lets it approximate a sharper, more precisely defined frequency response, since more taps give the filter more coefficients to work with in shaping that response, answer B. A higher data rate, lower Q, and using double-precision math routines don't by themselves make a filter's response sharper the way increasing the tap count does.
