Design of Multi-Bandpass FIR Digital Filters by Genetic Algorithm Approach

This paper presents the design of multi-bandpass finite-duration impulse response (FIR) digital filters by the genetic algorithm (GA) approach. The unique advantage of this approach over the McClellan-Parks algorithm is that it is general enough to incorporate both time-domain and frequency-domain constraints. The simplicity and generality of this GA-design approach make it attractive for a wide variety of applications
