Filtering is necessary for the SRC(sample rate converter), that is used to change the sampling rate of a digital signal. The larger the conversion ratio of the sampling rate becomes, the more signal processing is needed for the filter, which means more complexity on realization. Thus it is important to reduce the amount of signal processing for the case of substantial conversion ratios. In this paper it is presented an efficient design method of a multistage FIR(finite impulse response) filter, with which the rate conversion occurs in stages rather than in one step. In this method, filter searching is performed exhaustively over all possible factorization of the conversion ratio, and also the filter complexity is measured based on direct realization rather than on estimation. It has been shown a designed multistage filter to have a less number of multiplications for filtering operation in comparison with a conventionally designed one. It has also been found that by allowing some variations of the filter architecture such as a halfband filter or a filter with multiple transition bands, the number of multiplications can be reduced further.

In this paper, the multi-stage radius-directed algorithm is applied to fractionally spaced equalizers which are insensitive to the sampling timing-phase. these equalizers exhibit good convergence characeristics when compared to fractionally spaced blind equalizers using conventional blind algorithms. Also, multi-model fractionally spaced blind equalizers, which use multiple symbol spaced blind equalizers that operate independently, converge faster than conventional fractionally spaced blind equalizers.

A target signal simulation method for passive sonar systems is introduced. The method uses multirate signal processing techniques to simulate moving target signals in the multi-path sound propagation environment by introducing Lloyd's mirror and Doppler effect. Time and frequency variation of target signal due to the target maneuvering is also considered to provide realistic ship signatures in the LOFAR gram so that the simulated target is used for sonar operator training. Synthesized target characteristics is analyzed and compared with real target signal in terms of interference pattern and frequency variation in the LOFAR gram.
