Topics

Frequency Response

Compute and display frequency responses of IIR and FIR lowpass, highpass, and bandpass filters.

Phase Response

Extract the phase response of a filter.

Group Delay and Phase Delay

Measure the average time delay of a filter as a function of frequency.

Zero-Pole Analysis

Find and visualize poles and zeros of a linear system.

Impulse Response

Generate and display the impulse response of a simple filter.

Compensate for the Delay Introduced by an FIR Filter

Use indexing to counteract the time shifts introduced by filtering.

Compensate for the Delay Introduced by an IIR Filter

Remove delays and distortion introduced by filtering, when it is critical to keep phase information intact.
