I didn't mean the filter gain (even if I wrote that :-), but the whole
SRC section gain. That should be 1 and probably is larger than 1,
perhaps due to coefficient truncation.

That's because your SRC section has gain > 1. You have to compute the
maximum gain from the truncated filter coefficients. Then scale the
coefficients as necessary.

There is lots of webinfo on dithering (Google -> digital audio
dither).

Hi andor,
  you are correct... the filter that i am designing has a gain of 2...
which is necessary.... the problem i am facing here is the "finite word
length effect". 
1. when i take a sine wave of (+1 to -1) in 1.23 format the
max value is (2^23)-1
2. i am doing filtering on the data and storing the intermediate results
in 32 bit word.
3. finally when i need to output the results i convert this 32 bit to 24
bit by right shifting.
4. even after right shifthing it results in a value more than (2^23)-1
which i need to truncate to (2^23)-1 which results in the error...

can u point me to some articles or explain me how this dithering is
done...

regards,
srikk

It looks like your filter has a gain > 1 for some frequenies. Find out
the maximum gain (using the truncated coefficients), then normalize
the filter.

You should also dither in step 2 to get the maximum performance out of
your SRC.

I would guess if you handle the problem for sine waves you won't have
solved the problem for arbitrary waveforms (even simple ones).  Might
want to rethink the problem.

What is "SRC"?

Hi,

I am implimenting a SRC for both decimation and interpolation using
polyphase filter implementation.

my question is 

1.i take a sine wave (+1 to -1) of 24 bit and convolving with filter  
  taps of 1.31 format.
2. when i save my result after filtering to 24 bit, i need to truncate the

   result to 24 bit and save it
3. in the above process i found the output sine wave having a maximum 
   value of 1.002 and i am truncating it to 1.000
   because of this i get a error of 0.001 at some point and my final SNR 
   of the resultant signal  is detoriated.
4. when i dont truncate the result i get a proper signal and SNR...

IS there a method to redue the error by some means (dithering, HalfaddUp)
any inputs are helpful...

srikk
