35  * input, gr_complex output and float taps

38  * \details
39  * This block takes in a signal stream and performs interger down-
40  * sampling (decimation) with a polyphase filterbank. The first
41  * input is the integer specifying how much to decimate by. The
42  * second input is a vector (Python list) of floating-point taps
43  * of the prototype filter. The third input specifies the channel
44  * to extract. By default, the zeroth channel is used, which is
45  * the baseband channel (first Nyquist zone).
46  *
47  * The <EM>channel</EM> parameter specifies which channel to use
48  * since this class is capable of bandpass decimation. Given a
49  * complex input stream at a sampling rate of <EM>fs</EM> and a
50  * decimation rate of <EM>decim</EM>, the input frequency domain
51  * is split into <EM>decim</EM> channels that represent the
52  * Nyquist zones. Using the polyphase filterbank, we can select
53  * any one of these channels to decimate.
54  *
55  * The output signal will be the basebanded and decimated signal
56  * from that channel. This concept is very similar to the PFB
57  * channelizer (see #gr::filter::pfb_channelizer_ccf) where only a single
58  * channel is extracted at a time.
59  *
60  * The filter's taps should be based on the sampling rate before
61  * decimation.
62  *
63  * For example, using the GNU Radio's firdes utility to building
64  * filters, we build a low-pass filter with a sampling rate of
65  * <EM>fs</EM>, a 3-dB bandwidth of <EM>BW</EM> and a transition
66  * bandwidth of <EM>TB</EM>. We can also specify the out-of-band
67  * attenuation to use, <EM>ATT</EM>, and the filter window
68  * function (a Blackman-harris window in this case). The first
69  * input is the gain of the filter, which we specify here as
70  * unity.
71  *
72  * <B><EM>self._taps = filter.firdes.low_pass_2(1, fs, BW, TB,
73  * attenuation_dB=ATT, window=filter.firdes.WIN_BLACKMAN_hARRIS)</EM></B>
74  *
75  * The PFB decimator code takes the taps generated above and
76  * builds a set of filters. The set contains <EM>decim</EM> number
77  * of filters and each filter contains ceil(taps.size()/decim)
78  * number of taps. Each tap from the filter prototype is
79  * sequentially inserted into the next filter. When all of the
80  * input taps are used, the remaining filters in the filterbank
81  * are filled out with 0's to make sure each filter has the same
82  * number of taps.
83  *
84  * The theory behind this block can be found in Chapter 6 of
85  * the following book.
