Conventional design methods for CTD (charge transfer devices) FIR filters, whose coefficients consist of +1, 0, and -1, do not guarantee the phase linearity of the resulting filter, To obtain the linear phase filter, in this paper, an improved algorithm is presented based on the symmetry property of the linear phase filter coefficients. It has been shown that the proposed algorithm results in the linear phase filter and that the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is reduced by an half of that in the existing method.
