Up-sampling a filter

[himadri_debnath]

1. What is the difference between up sampling a signal and up sampling a filter?
2. How a filter is up-sampled practically (not MATLAB command)?

I guess you are asking about interpolation filter. It's a FIR filter with input rate Fs and output rate n*Fs, n being an integer factor.

See description from Intel FIR II IP core user guide.

So the clock frequency of the filter needs to be n*Fs, right? Signal will come at Fs but the filter is operating at n*Fs. Is it working this way.

 

[FvM]

Sample rate isn't clock frequency. Usually the required clock frequency is at least n*Fs, but may be much higher, e.g. in a sequentially processing audio filter.

You should first understand polyphase (or multi-rate) filters in signal processing terms. Clock frequency is a hardware implementation aspect.
