 * \brief Polyphase filterbank interpolator with gr_complex input,
 * gr_complex output and float taps
 * \ingroup channelizers_blk
 *
 * \details
 * This block takes in a signal stream and performs integer up-
 * sampling (interpolation) with a polyphase filterbank. The first
 * input is the integer specifying how much to interpolate by. The
 * second input is a vector (Python list) of floating-point taps
 * of the prototype filter.
 *
 * The filter's taps should be based on the interpolation rate
 * specified. That is, the bandwidth specified is relative to the
 * bandwidth after interpolation.
 *
 * For example, using the GNU Radio's firdes utility to building
 * filters, we build a low-pass filter with a sampling rate of
 * <EM>fs</EM>, a 3-dB bandwidth of <EM>BW</EM> and a transition
 * bandwidth of <EM>TB</EM>. We can also specify the out-of-band
 * attenuation to use, ATT, and the filter window function (a
 * Blackman-harris window in this case). The first input is the
 * gain, which is also specified as the interpolation rate so that
 * the output levels are the same as the input (this creates an
 * overall increase in power).
 *
 *   <B><EM>self._taps = filter.firdes.low_pass_2(interp, interp*fs, BW, TB,
 *      attenuation_dB=ATT, window=filter.firdes.WIN_BLACKMAN_hARRIS)</EM></B>
 *
 * The PFB interpolator code takes the taps generated above and
 * builds a set of filters. The set contains <EM>interp</EM>
 * filters and each filter contains
 * ceil(taps.size()/interp) taps. Each tap from the
 * filter prototype is sequentially inserted into the next
 * filter. When all of the input taps are used, the remaining
 * filters in the filterbank are filled out with 0's to make sure
 * each filter has the same number of taps.
 *
 * The theory behind this block can be found in Chapter 7.1 of the
 * following book:
 *
 *    <B><EM>f. harris, "Multirate Signal Processing for Communication
 *       Systems</EM>," Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall,
 *       Inc. 2004.</EM></B>
