For three stages, one would want a three-phase offset. I can't guess the best approach, but I'm confident that exploring the solution space would provide insights we don't now have.

You make lot of assumptions about me. Maybe I professor jerking your chain. Regards, Kamar Ruptan DSP Guru

Are you suggesting a multirate filter with extra decimation/interpolation steps interleaved? Rune

The formulae based on the cutoff slopes only give the rough idea of where could be the decimation/interpolation ratios. Vladimir Vassilevsky DSP and Mixed Signal Consultant www.abvolt.com
