Hi,

I would like to know on the implementation complexity issues beween
FIR Filter vs. IIR Filter (Chebyshev).
I know that IIR is more complex than FIR. But, in case of the FIR
filter has higher order number than IIR, FIR can be more complex.

If I have IIR Chebyshev 10th order vs. FIR with 59 Taps. Which one is
the most complex one?


Thanks,

Berry

A classic question that was answered by Rabiner.
If the goal is having the steepest frequency response and the maximum 
passband flatness, the IIR filters are more efficient then FIR.

No matter what you do, the IIR filter code is going to be more complex 
-- there's just more to do compared to a FIR.

Also, IIR filters are significantly more sensitive to coefficient values 
and quantization effects.  A 10th-order Chebychev filter is going to 
have some highly resonant poles, which will make it even more sensitive. 
  This means that your IIR solution will demand more precision than your 
FIR, which will add even more complexity to your algorithm.

If the book that Vladimir doesn't cover it, I'd recommend that you do 
some noise sensitivity analysis of your proposed IIR filter, then look 
at the complexity and execution time of the resulting code to make your 
decisions.
