Why did you pick IIR filters?

This sort of problem is generally caused by an implementation detail
that is not easy to track down without looking at code -- and many folks
(certainly I) generally don't look at code in newsgroup postings unless
there's less than 5 or 10 lines.
Check to make sure that you're using the correct gains going into your
internal states. You should have gains that will neither cause your
states to overflow or underflow. The best way to do this is to write
out the difference equations from your input to your states, find the
transfer function, then do a frequency sweep. This process is outlined
for somewhat different systems in
http://www.wescottdesign.com/articles/zTransform/z-transforms.html, but
it works fine for filters.

Hye,
I have a question to try to find a way to improve my processing.
I use a multirate filter with decimation.
There is a decimation by 40. One FIr is used then decimation, and the 1
IIR with decimation, then a second IIR with decimation, then again oner
IIR and decimation and at last one FIr .
I use a fix point DSP. The filter are designed in 16 bits inputs / outputs
(32 bits for computation).
It appears that the results is that i have in output a 12bits resoution
and 4 lsb bits are lost during the stages.
How can i improve this?
Should i change the IIR design? or thedecimation?
thank you
