Tabu Search metaheuristic for designing digital filters

Abstract

This paper deals with the application of a Tabu Search (TS) metaheuristic to the design of digital filters, with coefficient values expressed as the sum of power of two. The performances of the algorithm are heavily affected by the choice of its parameters, which in turn are related to different implemented strategies. The tuning of these parameters has been performed after many tests. The results of the proposed technique are compared to those obtained by simply rounding the optimal values of coefficients obtained by means of Remetz algorithm, and to those obtained using a simulated annealing algorithm.
