Understanding cascaded integrator-comb filters
The previously obscure CIC filter is now vital to many high-volume wireless communications tasks and equipment. Using CIC filters can cut costs, improve reliability, and help performance. Here's a primer to get you started.
Revisiting the analogue video decoder: Brushing up on your comb filters
With such a large number of video decoders in the market it might seem an unnecessary indulgence to spend time looking again at the design of this fundamental but apparently obsolete building block, and certainly new designs are not appearing on the market and haven't done so for three or four years.
