What is linear phase response?

Linear-phase describes the response of a filter. When a signal goes through a filter, it experiences a time delay or phase shift. In a “perfect” filter, all frequencies should experience the same time delay (known as pure time delay), which preserves the wave shape as much as possible.

How do you know if a filter has linear phase?

A FIR filter is linear-phase if (and only if) its coefficients are symmetrical around the center coefficient, that is, the first coefficient is the same as the last; the second is the same as the next-to-last, etc.

What is linear and non linear phase?

Here is the important part: zero and linear phase filters have left and right edges that look the same, while nonlinear phase filters have left and right edges that look different. Many applications cannot tolerate the left and right edges looking different.

What is non linear phase response?

If the phase response is nonlinear, then the relative phases of the sinusoidal signal components are generally altered by the filter. A nonlinear phase response normally causes a ``smearing'' of attack transients such as in percussive sounds. Another term for this type of phase distortion is phase dispersion.
