6. Conclusion This chapter presents different methods that have been proposed to improve the magnitude characteristics of the CIC decimator. Particularly, the methods are divided into 3 groups depending if the improvement is only in the passband, the stopband or in both . passband and stopband. Only a few methods in each group are described and illustrated in examples. All examples are done in MATLAB and programs can be downloaded from the INAOE web page . The CIC filter implementation, which is another important issue concerning the CIC filter, was not considered in this chapter. 7.
