What is moving average system in digital signal processing?
The moving average is the most common filter in DSP, mainly because it is the easiest digital filter to understand and use. In spite of its simplicity, the moving average filter is optimal for a common task: reducing random noise while retaining a sharp step response.
Is moving average a FIR 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.
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.
