Multirate Filters
Description
The CIC Compensation Decimator block uses an FIR polyphase decimator as the compensation filter. CIC compensation decimators are multirate FIR filters that you cascade with CIC decimators to mitigate the drawbacks of the CIC filters.
CIC decimation filters are used in areas that require high decimation. These filters are popular in ASICs and FPGAs, since they do not have any multipliers. CIC filters have two drawbacks:
CIC filters have a magnitude response that causes a droop in the passband region. This magnitude response is:
M — Differential delay
n — Number of stages
ω — Normalized angular frequency
CIC filters have a wide transition region.
The compensation decimator filters have an inverse passband response to correct for the CIC droop, and they have a narrow transition width.
This block brings the capabilities of the dsp.CICCompensationDecimator
System object™ to the Simulink® environment.
Ports
Input
Input — Data input
vector | matrix
Specify the data input as a vector or a matrix.
The block treats a P-by-Q input matrix as Q independent channels, decimating each channel over the first dimension.
When you input a variable-size signal (frame length changes during simulation), the frame length of the signal P can be arbitrary, that is, the input frame length does not have to be a multiple of the decimation factor. When you input a fixed-size signal (frame length does not change during simulation), the frame length can be arbitrary only when you select the Allow arbitrary frame length for fixed-size input signals parameter.

Output
Output — Filtered and downsampled signal
vector | matrix
Filtered and downsampled signal, returned as a vector or matrix.
The output signal dimensions depend on the input signal dimensions, the decimation factor of the compensator, and whether you select the Allow arbitrary frame length for fixed-size input signals parameter.
When the output is fixed-point, it is signed only.
This table provides more information on the dimensions of the output signal when you input a fixed-size input signal and a variable-size input signal.
Input Signal Size | Input Signal Dimensions | Output Signal Dimensions |
---|---|---|
Fixed | P-by-1 column vector, where P is a multiple of the decimation factor M | (P/M)-by-1 |
Fixed | P-by-1 column vector, where P is not a multiple of the decimation factor M |
If you do not select Allow arbitrary frame length for fixed-size input signals, the block errors. |
Fixed | P-by-Q matrix, where P is a multiple of the decimation factor M | (P/M)-by-Q |
Fixed | P-by-Q matrix, where P is not a multiple of the decimation factor M |
If you do not select Allow arbitrary frame length for fixed-size input signals, the block errors. |
Variable | P-by-Q |
Allow arbitrary frame length for fixed-size input signals parameter appears in the block dialog box but does not have any impact on the input frame length. You can input a variable-size signal of any frame length even if you do not select the Allow arbitrary frame length for fixed-size input signals parameter. |

Allow arbitrary frame length for fixed-size input signals — Allow arbitrary frame length for fixed-size input signals
off (default) | on
Since R2023a
Specify whether fixed-size input signals (whose size does not change during simulation) can have an arbitrary frame length, where the frame length does not have to be a multiple of the decimation factor. The block uses this parameter setting only for fixed-size input signals and ignores this parameter if the input has a variable-size.
When the input signal is a variable-size signal, the signal can have arbitrary frame length, that is, the frame length does not have to be a multiple of the decimation factor.
For fixed-size input signals, if you:
Select the Allow arbitrary frame length for fixed-size input signals parameter, the frame length of the signal does not have to be a multiple of the decimation factor. If the input is not a multiple of the decimation factor, then the output is generally a variable-size signal. Therefore, to support arbitrary input size, the block must also support variable-size operations, which you can enable by selecting the Allow arbitrary frame length for fixed-size input signals parameter.
Clear the Allow arbitrary frame length for fixed-size input signals parameter, the input frame length must be a multiple of the decimation factor.

Algorithms
The response of a CIC filter is given by:
R, D, and N are the rate change factor, the differential delay, and the number of sections in the CIC filter, respectively.
After decimation, the CIC response has the form:
The normalized version of this last response is the one that the CIC compensator needs to compensate. Hence, the passband response of the CIC compensator should take the following form:
where ωp is the passband frequency of the CIC compensation filter.
Notice that when ω/2R ≪ π, the previous equation for Hciccomp(ω) can be simplified using the fact that sin(x) ≅ x:
This previous equation is the inverse sinc approximation to the true inverse passband response of the CIC filter.
