Pipelining of IIR digital filters

Abstract

In this paper, we propose to present the direct form recursive digital filter as a state space filter. Then, we apply a look-ahead technique and derive a pipelined equation for block output computation. In addition, we study the stability and multiplication complexity of the proposed pipelined-block implementation and compare with complexities of other methods. An algorithm is derived for the iterative computation of pipelined-block matrices.
