One-Zero Loop Filter

If we relax the constraint that be odd, then the simplest case becomes the one-zero digital filter:

When , the filter is linear phase, and its phase delay and group delay are equal to sample [362]. In practice, the half-sample delay must be compensated elsewhere in the filtered delay loop, such as in the delay-line interpolation filter [207]. Normalizing the dc gain to unity removes the last degree of freedom so that , and .

See [454] for related discussion from a software implementation perspective.
