What FIR algorithm does?

Finite impulse response models are based on finite impulse response (FIR) filters, which are a type of a signal processing filter whose impulse response is of finite duration because it settles to zero in finite time.

What are the examples of FIR?

FIR filters are most popular kind of filters executed in software and these filters can be continuous time, analog or digital and discrete time. Special types of FIR filters are namely, Boxcar, Hilbert Transformer, Differentiator, Lth-Band and Raised-Cosine.

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.
