Design of Minimum-Phase Fir Digital Filter Through Cepstrum

A method to design an equiripple minimum-phase FIR filter using the cepstrum is described. This method avoids the complicated polynomial root-finding algorithm of Herman and Schuessler (1970), or the phase-unwrapping algorithm associated with the complex cepstrum of Mian and Nainar (1982). The differential cepstrum method proposed by Pei and Lu (1986) has aliasing problems and requires the computation of three FFTs. The proposed method requires only two FFT computations and avoids the processing of phase. © 1986, The Institution of Electrical Engineers. All rights reserved.
