So, there you have the goal. You were 900 words too comprehensive. Trim 
to 2500 words, and resubmit. :-)

Hi Tim,

There was a "Chirp Z Transform" article in the Embedded 
Systems Programming Magazine some months ago and I happen 
to know that it was about 2,500 words in length.
My CIC filter manuscript was roughly 3400 words.


See Ya',

How can something be "too comprehensive"?  If it's comprehensive, 
complete, understandable and short it should be a wonderful thing to 
print.  It's probably either too long or too complicated, and they're 
too polite to say, which is too bad.

In as much as I can make any comments on their new editor they do tend 
to like articles that are stand-alone.  Splitting an article is verboten 
unless you can make each piece work by itself -- even a stand-alone part 
1 followed by a part 2 that leans on part 1 isn't acceptable, so I 
imagine that an article that makes you run for the books wouldn't be too 
thrilling either.

Hi Paul,

   that's a very good list!  The CIC coverage in my 
book is fairly detailed, and my kids think it's 
pretty well-written.  However, I must say that Fred Harris'
new Multirate book has *really* terrific coverage of 
CIC filters.

As much as hate to promote another guy's book, Fred's 
book is very good!  You can see it at:

http://authors.phptr.com/harris/ 

Ha ha.  I wrote a "CIC Filter" article and sent it 
to Embedded Systems Programming Magazine a couple 
of months ago.  I finally heard back from them.
They essentially said that my article was too 
comprehensive and that they doubted that they'll 
ever publish it.  Maybe I should submit my 
CIC Filter article to Ladies Home Journal, or 
Hustler.

Hi Robert,

Here are a few good references for CIC filters:

Frerking, Marvin E., Digital Signal Processing in Communications 
Systems, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1994.

Lyons, Richard G., Understanding Digital Signal Porcessing, Prentice 
Hall, 2004.

Donadio, M. Cascaded Integrator-Comb (CIC) Filter Introduction 
http://www.dspguru.com/info/tutor/cic.htm

This reference is considered the classic paper on these filters:

Hogenauer, E. B., "An Economical Class of Digital Filters for Decimation 
and Interpolation," IEEE Transactions on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal 
Processing, ASSP-29(2): pp. 155-162, 1981

HTH,

Paul Costa
