Abstract: In this paper a cost effective Interpolator has been designed and simulated. An area efficient method has been presented to implement cost effective interpolator for wireless communication systems. Interpolator is particularly useful for smoothing signals such as sinusoids or baseband I/Q waveforms. For these signals, interpolation filter is used to accurately produce new samples of the waveform without reducing signal quality. In this paper three structures for interpolator has been used namely Direct Form FIR Polyphase, Nyquist Filter and Half-Band Low pass Filter. The developed interpolator has been compared for performance and implementation cost using Mat Lab. The results show that the performance of all the designs is almost similar, but cost variation is very high. The Half-Band structure shows 52% of reduction in multipliers as compared to Direct Form FIR Polyphase structure. The Half-Band structure is further implemented in Transposed Structure and Symmetric Structure. The Half-Band symmetric structure shows 27% reduction in multipliers as compared to Direct Form FIR Polyphase, Nyquist Filter and Half-Band Low pass Filter structure to provide cost effective solution for wireless applications.
