FIR vs IIR Digital Filters and Recursive vs Non Recursive Filters


  • Filters
  • FIR vs. IIR Digital Filters and Recursive vs. Non-Recursive Filters
    •

Key Features

  • The higher the order of a filter, the sharper the stopband transition 
  • The sharpness of FIR and IIR filters is very different for the same order 
  • A FIR filter has an equal time delay at all frequencies, while the IIR filter's time delay varies with frequency. Usually, the biggest time delay in the IIR filter is at the filter's cutoff frequency.
  • The term 'IR' (impulse response) is in both FIR and IIR. The term 'impulse response' refers to the appearance of the filter in the time domain. 

1. What Is the Difference Between an FIR and an IIR Filters?


The two major classifications of digital filters used for signal filtration are FIR and IIR. The primary distinction between FIR and IIR filters is that the FIR filter provides a finite period impulse response. In contrast, IIR is a type of filter that produces an infinite-duration impulse response for a dynamic system.

Mathematical representation of a filter equation:

A*y(t) = c1*x(t) + c2*x(t - t0) + c3*x(t - t1) + c4*x(t - t2) + . . . + cn*x(t – tn)

To make A equal 1, we change the values of the coefficients c1, c2, c3, etc., in the filter equation above. We carry out this to recover the original signal from various multipath (with different delay spreads).
We concentrate on taps and the corresponding weights when designing filters. The filter converges for some weightings of various taps. Some filters function quickly, while others function precisely. Applications determine uses. However, the uses for various filters vary. FIR filters have a limited number of taps. Simple FIR filters are linear by nature. Additionally, they generate a finite amount of impulses. IIR filters, on the other hand, can generate an infinite number of impulse responses despite having a finite number of taps since the


Why do we use filters?
The purpose of the use of different kinds of filters is different. But in general, they all smoothen the noisy signal. 

2. Difference between recursive and non-recursive filters:


The output of a recursive filter is directly dependent on one or more of its previous outputs. However, in a non-recursive filter, the system used is one in which the output is independent of any previous outputs, such as a feed-forward system with no feedback. As a result, the filter is following a non-recursive system here.

3. Solve: The impulse response of a filter is defined as h[n] =




Now tell us this filter is a
1. Non-recursive IIR filter
2. Recursive IIR filter
3. Non-recursive FIR filter
4. Recursive FIR filter
Answer: Option 3

Generally, an FIR filter has a finite number of impulse responses or a finite period of impulse responses. In the case of FIR, the output is usually independent of the previous output. So, the correct answer to the above question is 'Non-recursive FIR filter,' or option 3.

Modulation Constellation Diagrams BER vs. SNR BER vs SNR for M-QAM, M-PSK, QPSk, BPSK, ... 1. What is Bit Error Rate (BER)? The abbreviation BER stands for bit error rate, which indicates how many corrupted bits are received (after the demodulation process) compared to the total number of bits sent in a communication process. It is defined as,  In mathematics, BER = (number of bits received in error / total number of transmitted bits)  On the other hand, SNR refers to the signal-to-noise power ratio. For ease of calculation, we commonly convert it to dB or decibels.   2. What is Signal the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)? SNR = signal power/noise power (SNR is a ratio of signal power to noise power) SNR (in dB) = 10*log(signal power / noise power) [base 10] For instance, the SNR for a given communication system is 3dB. So, SNR (in ratio) = 10^{SNR (in dB) / 10} = 2 Therefore, in this instance, the signal power i

RMS Delay Spread, Excess Delay Spread and Multi-path ...

Signal Processing RMS Delay Spread, Excess Delay Spread, and Multipath... RMS Delay Spread, Excess Delay Spread, and Multipath (MPCs) The fundamental distinction between wireless and wired connections is that in wireless connections signal reaches at receiver thru multipath signal propagation rather than directed transmission like co-axial cable. Wireless Communication has no set communication path between the transmitter and the receiver. The line of sight path, also known as the LOS path, is the shortest and most direct communication link between TX and RX. The other communication pathways are called non-line of sight (NLOS) paths. Reflection and refraction of transmitted signals with building walls, foliage, and other objects create NLOS paths. [ Read More about LOS and NLOS Paths] Multipath Components or MPCs: The linear nature of the multipath component signals is evident.

MATLAB Code for QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation)

  One of the best-performing modulation techniques is QAM [↗] . Here, we modulate the symbols by varying the carrier signal's amplitude and phase in response to the variation in the message signal (or voltage variation). So, we may say that QAM is a combination of phase and amplitude modulation. Additionally, it performs better than ASK or PSK [↗] . In fact, any constellation for any type of modulation, signal set (or, symbols) is structured in a way that prevents them from interacting further by being distinct by phase, amplitude, or frequency. MATLAB Script % This code is written by SalimWirelss.Com % This is an example of 4-QAM. Here constellation size is 4 % or total number of symbols/signals is 4 % We need 2 bits once to represent four constellation points % QAM modulation is the combination of Amplitude modulation plus % Phase Modulation. We map the decimal value of the input symbols, i.e., % 00, 01, 10, 11 to 1 + 1i, -1 + 1i, 1 - 1i, and -1 - 1i, respectively. clc;clear all;
