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

Famous quotes containing the words theoretical and/or basis:

    Post-structuralism is among other things a kind of theoretical hangover from the failed uprising of ‘68Ma way of keeping the revolution warm at the level of language, blending the euphoric libertarianism of that moment with the stoical melancholia of its aftermath.
    Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)

    Far from being the basis of the good society, the family, with its narrow privacy and tawdry secrets, is the source of all our discontents.
    Sir Edmund Leach (20th century)
