Why are FIR filters important in audio or video processing?

The reader can observe how the low frequency roll off changes and how the phase is not as flat in the low frequency region. In general, FIR filter can work effectively to do correction for frequencies below 100Hz if a long processing delay can be tolerated.

What are the disadvantages of FIR filter?

The primary disadvantage of FIR filters is that they often require a much higher filter order than IIR filters to achieve a given level of performance. Correspondingly, the delay of these filters is often much greater than for an equal performance IIR filter.

Where do we use FIR filter?

Finite impulse response (FIR) filters are widely used in communication [1], consumer electronics, audio [2], and other signal processing applications [3]. One of the important applications of FIR filters is as a Hilbert transformer.

What is FIR filter audio?

Short for Finite Impulse Response Filter, an FIR is a type of digital process that looks back in time to a fixed number of previous samples in order to generate a result. Example: Outbound sample is equal to an average of the last 4 inbound samples.

What is the difference between FIR and IIR for audio?

A FIR has equal delay at all frequencies while the IIR filter time delay varies with frequency. A FIR filter has equal time delay at all frequencies, while the IIR filter time delay varies with frequency. Usually the biggest time delay in the IIR filter is at the cut off frequency of the filter.

How do you know if a FIR filter is stable?

The necessary and sufficient condition for IIR filters to be stable is that all poles are inside the unit circle. In contrast, FIR filters are always stable because the FIR filters do not have poles. You can determine if pole-zero pairs are close enough to cancel out each other effectively.
