Abstract
For a scalable filtering infrastructure, a library of filters each usable at different control rates is provided by defining filters in a continuous time mode despite eventual use for digital filtering. For implementation, a filter is selected and discretized for the desired control rate. The discretized filter is then deployed as a discrete time realization for convolution. In a distributed system with multiple control rates, the library may be used to more rapidly and conveniently generate the desired filters.
