Test: FIR Filters Design - Electrical Engineering (EE) MCQ

Explanation: We can express the output sequence as the convolution of the unit sample response h(n) of the system with the input signal. The lower and upper limits on the convolution sum reflect the causality and finite duration characteristics of the filter.

Explanation: An FIR filter has an linear phase if its unit sample response satisfies the condition
h(n)= ±h(M-1-n) n=0,1,2…M-1.

Explanation: We know that the roots of the polynomial H(z) are identical to the roots of the polynomial H(z -1). Consequently, the roots of H(z) must occur in reciprocal pairs.

Explanation: We know that the roots of the polynomial H(z) are identical to the roots of the polynomial H(z -1). This implies that if the unit sample response h(n) of the filter is real, complex valued roots must occur in complex conjugate pairs.

Explanation: When h(n)=-h(M-1-n), the unit sample response is anti-symmetric. For M odd, the center point of the anti-symmetric is n=M-1/2. Consequently, h(M-1/2)=0.

Explanation: We know that, for a symmetric h(n), the number of filter coefficients that specify the frequency response is (M+1)/2 when M is odd and M/2 when M is even.

Explanation: We know that, for a anti-symmetric h(n) h(M-1/2)=0 and thus the number of filter coefficients that specify the frequency response is (M-1)/2 when M is odd and M/2 when M is even.

Explanation: If h(n)=-h(M-1-n) and M is odd, we get H(0)=0 and H(π)=0. Consequently, this is not suitable as either a low pass filter or a high pass filter.

Explanation: When h(n)=-h(M-1-n) and M is even, we know that H(0)=0. Thus it is not used in the design of a low pass linear phase FIR filter.

Explanation: We know that if h(n)=-h(M-1-n) and M is odd, we get H(0)=0 and H(π)=0. Consequently, this is not suitable as either a low pass filter or a high pass filter and when h(n)=-h(M-1-n) and M is even, we know that H(0)=0. Thus it is not used in the design of a low pass linear phase FIR filter. Thus the anti-symmetric condition is not used in the design of low pass linear phase FIR filter.
