  • Anti-Aliasing filter depends on the following parameters;
  • 1. Signal BW
  • 2. Sampling Rate
  • 3. Sampling duration and thus BW of sample
  • 4. LPF attenuation of alias spectrum above 1. From your SNR spec or dynamic range desired for resolution
  • When sampling rates of 64x are used, often a 1st order LPF is all that is needed when 32x , a 2nd order filter, when 2x sampling rate, you need a brick wall filter that suffers from group delay distortion near bandedge. These are the benefits of over sampling (order vs SNR are tradeoff estimates only, no precise.)
