It's a conventional least-squares model, so it really knows nothing of the "type" of filter that it's creating. It just minimizes the squared error based upon the data matrices. Achieving phase accuracy on the order of 0.001� over a significant bandwidth is a really tall order. Greg

I'm seeing 90��0.01� from about Fs/22 to just under Fs/2. (Yeah, 90/10000 is closer to 0.01 than it is to 0.001; I can't do arithmetic in my head this early in the morning.) So if your band falls close to those limits, it might be worth a try. Greg Berchin

Since the ear is relatively insensitive to phase variations, the overall phase variation of the result doesn't matter nearly as much as the suppression of the opposing sideband. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com Do you need to implement control loops in software?

I.e. the SSB signal can be easily converted into 90-degree shifted versions of the modulation signal. The SSB can be formed by conventional filtering.
