Abstract

In signal processing, there are many instances in 
which an input signal to a system contains extra unnecessary 
content or additional noise which can degrade the quality of 
the desired portion. In such cases we may remove or filter out 
the useless samples. For example, in the case of the telephone 
system, there is no reason to transmit very high frequencies 
since most speech falls within the band of 400 to 3,400 Hz. 
Therefore, in this case, all frequencies above and below that 
band are filtered out. The frequency band between 400 and 
3,400 Hz, which isn’t filtered out, is known as the pass band, 
and the frequency band that is blocked out is known as the 
stop band.[1] Finite Impulse Response, filters are one of the 
primary types of filters used in Digital Signal Processing. For 
the design of Low pass FIR filters complex calculations are 
required. Mathematically, by substituting the values of Pass 
band, transition width, pass band ripple, stop band 
attenuation, sampling frequency in any of the methods from 
window method, frequency sampling method or optimal 
method we can get the values of filter coefficients h(n)[2].In 
this paper, Kaiser Window method has been chosen preferably 
because of the presence of ripple factor (β). Considering Low 
pass Filter design, the range of values for the parameters 
required are calculated. A data sheet through programming is 
performed on the platform of Matlab. For 30 different range 
of parameters, the values of h(n) i.e. coefficients of FIR filter, 
named desired result have been calculated .Artificial Neural 
Network is a highly simplified model of the structure of the 
biological neural network. It consists of interconnected 
processing units. In this thesis, ANN model has been designed 
which is used to design the low pass FIR which in the specified 
range of parameter which has been used to train the neural 
network. Basically, ANN can be trained by many methods like 
Feed forward neural network, Feedback neural network. But 
in this is paper the feed forward neural network has been 
chosen to train the network. Here radial basis function in 
neural networks is used for the training of the neural network
