CIC keeps the first sample of each block · case 03

The decimator output lags a full block behind and includes a sample from an incomplete block.

Case contract

Input [N, R, M, samples]: N integrator stages at the input rate, keep the integrator output at indices R-1, 2R-1, ... (whole blocks only), then N comb stages y = v - v[k-M] at the low rate with zero initial state; divide by the gain (R M)^N and return exact fraction strings.

Why this case matters

CIC decimators front most digital down-converters; decimation phase, delay or gain slips distort the passband level.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
