I think the E format only shows up in the examples and the actual input required is a bit more forgiving. Fred

That bit of code provided by Juha takes care of everything and yields zero coefficients where they belong without cheating. You can do the same with the P-M program: Define an even-length lowpass filter response at band edges [0 .4 .5 .5] with band values [0.5 0] Then upsample the fiter by a factor of 2 (i.e. intersperse zero coefficients) Then replace the zero coefficient at the center with 0.5. Result: a perfect minimax halfband filter. Fred

Given the usual tools, which way is easier? >Jerry, Well, the code provided by Juha seems pretty darned easy to use if you have Matlab or Scilab. The code I keep posted will write the coefficients to a file - not a big deal but perhaps convenient. I just tried using the standard P-M followed by using the trick Juha's code uses. That seems a little more trouble because you have to grab and manipulate the interim result from PM. One might check the results to see how they compare. Probably all pretty close. I believe in any case, when the stopband attenuation peaks get to be around 200dB, then numerical problems make convergence a problem. Does anybody care? :-) Fred
