do your echo canceller at 32 kHz. what is it? a normalized LMS
adaptive filter?

The maximum stopband attenuation doesn't matter; it's the minimum signal
that counts (30 dB down isn't really enough). Suppose the minimum
attenuation is an adequate 50 dB* and there's a spec that the ripple may
not exceed 30 dB. If at some frequency the attenuation exceeds 80 dB,
does that mean that the filter is out of spec?
Look again at the parameters you enter. I think you're reading them
wrong. BTW: look up http://www.google.com/search?q=multirate+filter

its for a purpose, its a intercom path and the data samples get piped
through a echo cancellor library which only operates at 8Khz. Is there a
better way? i dont have the processing power to takle echo cancellation,
vad, howling control and data transmission at higher rates i dont think.

Why? If for some purpose, there may be a better way. If as an
assignment, all bets are off.

Of course too high. The stopband has to be less than half the new sample
rate. Did you sleep through that lecture?
Stopband Ripple? Are you sure? how about minimum stopband attenuation?

No. You filter again after interpolating. What is the sample rate then?

Yes and yes.

Yes, your stopband is too high. It needs to be LESS THAN 4000 Hz in
order to satisfy Nyquist when fs = 8000Hz. I'd go with 3600. You can
use the same filter coefs for the interpolator.
There's a nice tutorial here:

Hi
I need to resample a 32Khz signal into a 8Khz signal, and then back again
to 32Khz after it has been processed and am looking for some guidance.
I am using a dsPIC and have the following two library functions available
to me, FIRDecimate and FIRInterpolate, I am also using the dsPICfd
software to create my filters.
After reading many tutorials on doing this, I am still a bit disorientated
as to how to best create the filter
To downsample I am looking at decimation at a factor of 2/8 = 0.25, and
the application is for voice, but relatively good quality voice.
So, when I create my FIR filter, I have to input the following, I have
included what I think should be set for these values:
Sampling Frequency: 32000
Passband Frequency: 4100 (Maybe too high?)
Stopband Frequency: 4800
Passband Ripple (dB): 0.1
Stopband Ripple (dB): 50
Can anybody tell me if im on the right tracks here?
And when I interpolate, do I use the same filter but with 8000 as the
sampling frequency? Will this break the nyquist frequency rule? If so
would I need to drop my passband and stopband to below 4000Khz?
Many thanks for any help
Billy
