How does the moving average filter work?
The moving average filter is a simple Low Pass FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filter commonly used for regulating an array of sampled data/signal. It takes M samples of input at a time and takes the average of those to produce a single output point.
What is formula of average moving filter?
The difference equation of an exponential moving average filter is very simple: y [ n ] = α x [ n ] + ( 1 − α ) y [ n − 1 ] In this equation, is the current output, y [ n − 1 ] is the previous output, and is the current input; is a number between 0 and 1.
Which filter is moving average filter?
The moving average filter is a special case of the regular FIR filter. Both filters have finite impulse responses. The moving average filter uses a sequence of scaled 1s as coefficients, while the FIR filter coefficients are designed based on the filter specifications. They are not usually a sequence of 1s.
Is moving average a good filter?
Not only is the moving average filter very good for many applications, it is optimal for a common problem, reducing random white noise while keeping the sharpest step response. FIGURE 15-1 Example of a moving average filter.
