Polynomial calculations on an FIR filter engine, part 1

Kendall Castor-Perry October 1, 20192 comments

Polynomial evaluation is structurally akin to FIR filtering and fits dedicated filtering engines quite well, with certain caveats. It’s a technique that has wide applicability. This two-part note discusses transducer and amplifier non-linearity compensation, function approximation and aspects of harmonic signal synthesis.

Need for polynomials as general non-linear functions

Many transducer types exhibit a non-linear relationship between a measured parameter, such as a voltage, and...
