To alent to (1) but in terms of z −1, namely date most work in the field has been focused on finite-impulse- n response filters. In this paper, the design of sparse digital filters −i a z is investigated for a class of IIR filters. We propose a two-phase i algorithm that promotes coefficient sparsity, maintains filter’s H (z) = r i=0 (2) stability, and optimizes its frequency response to approximate a desired frequency response in minimax sense. A design example (di2 z −2 + di1z −1 + 1) is presented to illustrate the proposed algorithm and compare its
