The IFIR approach involves designing two cascaded low-pass filters (LPFs).
The first-stage filter is constructed by up-sampling (or interpolation with inserted zeros) the impulse response (IR) of a prototype filter (PF). Hence,the frequency response (FR) of the first-stage filter will be the replicated and compressed FR of PF.
the second-stage filter in the IFIR design is used to remove the replicated FR images except the low-pass part around the DC, and is thus called the masking filter (MF).
Figure shows the IFIR two-stage filtering structure.
