Hello All,
I further reviewed current and proposed implementation of the
get_filter_freq() function[Thank you Stefano for your time]. We realised that I
was wrong in swapping DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST calls with mixing
multiplication in it. It is indeed incorrect to mix multiplication if we
want to reorder the calls. Comparison of the results from current and
proposed implementation proved it. In short, the patch I sent is wrong.
My apologies for any trouble.
We have further improved the test program with a revised implementation
[attached with this email] and found that this revision appears to
provide more accurate results [I think].
May I please request you to review the attached test program, verify the
results and share your feedback.
Thank you for your patience and the opportunity to learn a few new
things!
Deepak.
