IIR Filter design
Concept of filter design:
"Analog filters are designed using analog components like resistors (R), inductance (L) and capacitors (C).while digital filters are implemented using difference equations& can be done using C or assembly language we can easily change the algorithm so we can easily change the filter characteristics according to our requirement".
Basically there are 2 types of filters as follows:
1.FIR (Finite impulse response)Filter2.IIR (Infinite impulse response)Filter
We will study each type in detail later in this chapter.Presently we will compare analog and digital filters by studying advantages and disadvantages of digital filters.
Advantage of Digital Filter:
1.Many inputs can be filtered without change in Hardware.2.Characteristics are like linear phase response which is impossible to obtain in analog filters.
3.performance dose not vary with parameters of environmental conditions which can cause problems in analog filters .
4.Portable.
5.Highly Flexible.
6.Repeatable.
7.can be used at very low frequencies ex. for Biomedical signals.
8. Maintenance is not required .
Disadvantages of Digital filters:
1.Speed Limitation.
2.Finite word length effect.
3.Long design and development time.
