Abstract: For digital signal processing, communication systems and VLSI design architectures, an efficient FIR filter is required to eliminate the noise signals. To design an efficient FIR filter, the minimization of two parameters is required such as side lobe attenuation and power. These two parameters can be achieved by designing a FIR filter with the help of Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT) and Canonical Signed digit (CSD) algorithm. In this work, Finite Impulse Response (FIR) low pass filter is designed by using both FrFT and ordinary Fourier Transform (FT) methods and their frequency responses are compared in terms of side lobe attenuation (SLA). After comparison of both methods, the better results are obtained for an FrFT based design of FIR low pass filter. Apart from this, the FrFT based design of FIR low pass filter is realized in direct form architecture and implemented in VLSI. Further, the Canonical Signed digit (CSD) algorithm is applied for the multiplication process in the architecture implementation to minimize the power consumption. Moreover, frequency response of FIR low pass filter is obtained by using MATLAB software and simulation and synthesis results are obtained by using Xilinx 13.1 ISE.
