Abstract
A double-loop iterative method is proposed to design allpass variable fractional-delay (VFD) digital filters basing on the minimization of root-mean-squared group-delay error. In the inner loop, an iterative quadratic optimization is proposed to replace the original nonlinear optimization for the minimization of root-mean-squared group-delay error, while an iterative weighting-updated technique is applied in the outer loop to further reduce the maximum group-delay error. Several examples will be presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and good convergence of the proposed method.
