Filter Design - Theoretical Basis

Theoretical Basis

Parts of the design problem relate to the fact that certain requirements are described in the frequency domain while others are expressed in the signal domain and that these may contradict. For example, it is not possible to obtain a filter which has both an arbitrary impulse response and arbitrary frequency function. Other effects which refer to relations between the signal and frequency domain are

  • The uncertainty principle between the signal and frequency domains
  • The variance extension theorem
  • The asymptotic behaviour of one domain versus discontinuities in the other
