Variable Digital Filters

There has been a constant interest in the design and implementation of digital filters with variable characteristics for different applications. In this article an attempt is made to review and systematize all known structures and methods of design of such filters. First the basic theory of the variable digital filters is introduced. Then FIR and IIR realizations with real and complex coefficients are considered, the known results for multidimensional variable filters are discussed and finally, typical implementations are overviewed. Recommendations for applications in different situations are given and unresolved problems are pointed out. This work is basically a review, but some of our original results are also included.
