Design FIR filter to reject unwanted frequencies

by

Let’s see how to design a simple digital FIR filter to reject unwanted frequencies in an incoming signal. As a per-requisite, I urge you to read through this post: Introduction to digital filter design Background on transfer function The transfer function of a system provides the underlying support for ascertaining vital system response characteristics without … Read more

Digital filter design – Introduction

by

Key focus: Develop basic understanding of digital filter design. Learn about fundamentals of FIR and IIR filters and the design choices. Analog filters and digital filters are the two major classification of filters, depending on the type of signal signal they process. An analog filter, processes continuous-time signal analog signals. Whereas, digital filters process sampled, … Read more

Choosing FIR or IIR ? Understand design perspective

by

“What is the best filter that I should use? FIR or IIR ?” is often the question asked by many. There exists two different types of Linear Time Invariant (LTI) filters from transfer function standpoint : FIR (Finite Impulse Response) and IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) filters and myriad design techniques for designing them.  The mere fact … Read more
