-  ABSTRACT:
- 		
		Linear-phase FIR filters with deep, equiripple
                stopbands are constructed using Chebyshev polynomials
                to sharpen short linear-phase subfilters.  The
                Chebyshev recursion yields a natural implementation
                structure using only local interconnections between
                subfilter copies. Small-integer coefficients often
                suffice for the subfilters, because of their shallow
                stopbands, and power-of-two coefficients often suffice
                for the sharpening structure.  Included are several
                passband-flattening techniques, most of which also use
                only small-integer coefficients.
