The Formula Explained
FIR Filter Coefficients are calculated based on the specified order and cutoff frequency using windowing techniques and Fourier transforms.
Glossary of Terms
- Filter Order: The number of taps in the FIR filter.
- Cutoff Frequency: The frequency at which the filter begins to attenuate signals.
- Filter Coefficients: The numerical values that define the filter's impulse response.
How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example
To design an FIR filter, specify a filter order and cutoff frequency. The calculator will then compute the filter coefficients using windowing methods.
