It is important to obtain a low coefficient sensitivity digital filter. This paper presents a new low coefficient sensitivity network structure that consists of a second order digital filter and a feedback path. This network structure is based on the effectiveness of the feedback path in an analog system. The coefficient sensitivity of the proposed digital filter can be control with the coefficient of the feedback path. Using this property, the digital filter with the low coefficient sensitivity is obtained. To add the feedback path makes the frequency response deviate from the characteristic of the original second order digital filter, but the deviation can be compensated with the other coefficients. A nonlinear optimization technique is employed to determine the coefficients of the digital filter. The proposed method is not effective only to narrow-band low-pass but wide-band low-pass filters.
