Hi all

what is the difference between FIR and IIR
 

Re: regarding DSP

FIR is finite impulse response and hence it would be characterised by the absence of poles.... for the case of IIR there would be poles......

Re: regarding DSP

FIR:
* there is no feedback from the output, hence the response will be finite.
* poles lie on the origin.
* to get the better step-up(HP filter) or step-down(LP filter) response, the number of taps should be more, hence it increases the processing time of the system.
* gives linear phase
* the system is stable as all the poles lie in the origin.


IIR:
* there is a feedback given from the output to input, hence the response of the filter is infinite, irrespective of the inputs.
* easy to implement, also the calculation or processing time is less, as we can get the step-up and step-down response with a fewer taps.'
* even IIR can be designed for linear phase
* the system should be desinged for stability, but by default it may or may not be stable.
