Lecture 3 Group Delay Phase Delay of FIR Digital Filters

This document discusses phase delay and group delay in digital filters. It defines linear phase filters as those where the phase delay and group delay are constant and independent of frequency. For an FIR filter to have a linear phase, the coefficients must be symmetric or antisymmetric. Examples show how to determine if an FIR filter's coefficients satisfy the condition for linear phase. Applications of FIR filters that use antisymmetric coefficient sequences are also mentioned.

FIR filters are employed in filtering problems where linear
phase characteristics within the passband of the filter is
required.
If this is not required, either an IIR or an FIR filter may be
employed.

<SELO: 1,2> <Reference No.: T1>


An IIR filter has lesser number of side lobes in the stopband than an FIR
filter with the same number of parameters.

For this reason if some phase distortion is tolerable, an IIR filter is


preferable.

Also, the implementation of an IIR filter involves fewer parameters, less


memory requirements and lower computational complexity.

Phase Delay & Group Delay:
Filters can have a linear or non-linear phase depending upon
the delay function, namely the phase delay and group delay.

<SELO: 1,2> <Reference No.: T1>


Linear phase filters are those filters in which the phase delay and group delay
are constants, i.e. independent of frequency.

Linear phase filters are also called constant time delay filters.

Let us obtain the conditions FIR filters must satisfy in order to have
constant phase and group delays and hence obtain the conditions for
having a linear phase. For the phase response to be linear,

<SELO: 1,2> <Reference No.: T1>


<SELO: 1,2> <Reference No.: T1>
<SELO: 1,2> <Reference No.: T1>
The phase and group delays of the linear phase FIR filter are equal
and constant over the frequency band.

Whenever a constant group delay alone is preferred, the impulse


response will be of the form

h(n) = –h(M – 1 – n) and is antisymmetric about the center of the


impulse response sequence.

The applications of FIR filters like the wideband differentiator and


Hilbert transformer use such antisymmetric impulse response
sequences.

Example
Example 7.1 The length of an FIR filter is 9. If the filter has a linear phase,
show that Eq. (7.3) is satisfied.
