Decimation filters, essential for the VACS platform, reduce sampling rates by applying low-pass filters—such as FIR or CIC—followed by downsampling to minimize computational load and prevent aliasing. By employing multi-stage designs, the platform can efficiently process high-bandwidth data, improving SNR while reducing data transfer requirements.
