A digital filtering method includes receiving a digital signal, and passing the digital signal through a Pth order comb cascade. The method includes beginning pre-computing of intermediate integrator states of a Pth order integrator cascade as a function of the digital signal, prior to receiving output from a last comb of the Pth order comb cascade. The outputs from each comb of the Pth order comb cascade are then applied to the pre-computed intermediate integrator states to thereby produce a filtered version of the digital signal. The Pth order comb cascade may operate at a sampling frequency, and the pre-computing of the intermediate integrator states is performed at the sampling frequency, while the application of the outputs from each comb of the Pth order comb cascade to the pre-computed intermediate integrator states is performed at a multiple of the sampling frequency.

The present invention relates broadly to a method of digitally filtering an audio signal by applying a composite audio filter. The composite audio filter may be obtained by applying one audio filter to another audio filter each having the same predetermined sample rate including neighboring sample points. The other audio filter may also include one or more intervening sample points between adjacent of its neighboring sample points. The one audio filter may be applied to the other audio filter at an adjusted sampling rate relative to the other audio filter. The adjusted sampling rate may be inversely proportional to the number of intervening sample points relative to the number of neighboring sample points for the other filter. The frequency response curve for the composite filter derived using the adjusted sampling rate may be more indicative of an idealized lowpass filter. The frequency response with the adjusted sampling rate may display a more bell-shaped characteristic compared with the frequency response without an adjusted sampling rate (shown in broken line detail).
