The conventional FIR filters can be very expensive to implement due to the complexity of multibit multipliers. This paper presents an new type of multiplierless structure which is particularly suited to the hardware implementation of small, low cost, low power, high speed digital filters. The filter structures consisting of a transversal filter with tap coefficiented to the combination of two elements of the set {0, $\pm$$2^n$;n = integer} and cascaded with a integrator are proposed. Performance has been tested via simulation on a digital computer, and the results show that the response characteristics of presented filters are as equally good as those of conventional finitewordlength filters.
