Abstract The digital filters with adjustable frequency-domain characteristics are called variable filters. Variable filters are useful in the applications where the filter characteristics are needed to be changeable during the course of signal processing. In such cases, if the existing traditional constant filter design techniques are applied to the design of new filters to satisfy the new desired characteristics when necessary, it will take a huge amount of design time. So it is desirable to have an efficient method which can fast obtain the new desired frequency-domain characteristics. Generally speaking, the frequency-domain characteristics of variable filters are determined by a set of spectral parameters such as cutoff frequency, transition bandwidth and passband width. Therefore, the characteristics of variable filters are the multi-dimensional (M-D) functions of such spectral parameters. This paper proposes an efficient technique which simplifies the difficult problem of designing a 2-D variable filter with quadrantally symmetric magnitude characteristics as the simple one that only needs the normal one-dimensional (1-D) constant digital filter designs and 1-D polynomial approximations. In applying such 2-D variable filters, only varying the part of 1-D polynomials can easily obtain new desired frequency-domain characteristics.
