FIR Filter Implementation in C++

Below are program source listings for FIR.h and FIR.cpp, the header file and class file for implementing arbitrary causal FIR filters in the Synthesis Tool Kit (STK) framework [15,18].

Note that FIR filters can be obtained as a special case of IIR filters. A C++ class for IIR digital filters is included in the STK. (See the Filter STK class.) When the feedback coefficients (called ``$a$ coefficients'') are zero, a general (causal) FIR filter is obtained. The class below was written before the Filter STK class existed, so it is included here mainly as a tutorial example of how STK classes may be written. See [87]^I.1 for a tutorial introduction to using and developing for the STK.
