Abstract

This paper proposes the design of transformation based two dimensional (2D) elliptical filters using multi-objective artificial bee colony (MOABC) algorithm. The MOABC algorithm finds the one dimensional (1D) cut-off frequencies and McClellan transformation coefficients by optimizing the contour approximation errors at pass-band and stop-band regions of elliptical filters. This design approach is compared with the state of the art approaches in terms of contour approximation error, pass-band ripple and stop-band attenuation to ensure the efficiency. It is seen that an efficient mapping of 1D filter to 2D filter is possible with minimum contour approximation error using the proposed approach. The second proposal in this paper is the design of low complexity variable bandwidth and variable orientation elliptical filters with direct 2D tunability. This is achieved by mapping the coefficients of different 2D filters into a 2D Farrow structure. The performance of the proposed variable elliptical filter is measured in terms of mean error, mean square error, root mean square error, pass-band ripple, stop-band attenuation and 2D cut-off frequencies. The main feature of the proposed 2D variable filter design lies in the considerable reduction in the number of multipliers when compared to the existing methods, which in turn reduces the resource utilization and power consumption.
