Fractional Delay Farrow Filter

Josef Hoffmann

The Fractional Delay Farrow Filter is a digital filter that delays the discrete-time input signal by a fraction of the sample period. There are many applications where such a delay is necessary. As an example one can consider symbol synchronization in digital receivers, conversion between arbitrary sampling frequencies, echo cancellation, speech coding and speech synthesis, modeling of musical instruments, etc.
