If you consider that the transition band of a windowed-sinc filter comes from convolving the ideal sinc response with the window spectrum, you see that in this case its width is indeed independent of the corner frequency, but I'd like to emphasize that this is a property of that particular design procedure. I haven't done much with FIRs at all, but there is certainly a dependence in Parks-McClellan IIR design. Martin -- Quidquid latine scriptum sit, altum viditur.

Thus a small difference might well be more likely to expose a bad tap in a big table. IMHO. YMMV. -- rhn A.T nicholson d.0.t C-o-M
