What is meant by finite impulse response?
In signal processing, a finite impulse response (FIR) filter is a filter whose impulse response (or response to any finite length input) is of finite duration, because it settles to zero in finite time.
What is a FIR filter used for?
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.
Is Butterworth a FIR or IIR?
The classical IIR filters, Butterworth, Chebyshev Types I and II, elliptic, and Bessel, all approximate the ideal “brick wall” filter in different ways.
