Equation 1 specifies the transfer function of infinite impulse response filters (IIR).
When the coefficients of this transfer function are quantized for fixed point implementations, the resulting errors due to quantization and the recursive nature of the filter can significantly alter the desired filter characteristics and lead to instability. Partitioning this transfer function into a set of cascaded lower-order filters reduces the sensitivity to coefficient quantization. Cascaded Biquad IIR filter implementations have been proven to be effective in minimizing these effects.
