5Finite Impulse Response (FIR) Filters

Digital FIR filters are discrete linear time-invariant systems in which an output number, representing a sample of the filtered signal, is obtained by weighted summation of a finite set of input numbers, representing samples of the signal to be filtered. The coefficients of the weighted summation constitute the filter’s impulse response and only a finite number of them take nonzero values. This is a “finite memory” filter – that is, it determines its output as a function of input data of limited age. It is frequently called a non-recursive filter because, unlike the infinite impulse response filter, it does not require a feedback loop in its implementation.

The properties of FIR filters will be illustrated by two simple examples.

5.1 FIR Filters

Consider a signal x(t) represented by its samples x(nT), taken at frequency fs = 1/T, and examine the effect on its spectrum of replacing the set x(nT) with the set y(nT) defined by the equation:

(5.1)y left-parenthesis italic n upper T right-parenthesis equals one half left-bracket x left-parenthesis italic n upper T right-parenthesis plus x left-parenthesis n minus 1 right-parenthesis upper T right-bracket

This set is also obtained by sampling the signal y(t) such that:

y left-parenthesis t right-parenthesis equals one half left-bracket x left-parenthesis t right-parenthesis plus x left-parenthesis t minus upper T right-parenthesis right-bracket

If Y(f) and X(f) denote the Fourier transforms of the signals y(t) and x(t), then:

upper Y left-parenthesis f right-parenthesis equals one half upper X left-parenthesis f right-parenthesis left-parenthesis 1 plus e Superscript minus normal j Baseline 2 pi italic f upper T Baseline right-parenthesis

Such an operation corresponds to the transfer ...
