It is nearly impossible to design a linearphase IIR transfer function It is always possible to design an FIR transfer function with an exact linear-phase response Consider a causal FIR transfer function H(z) of length N+1, i.e., of order N:
The simple filters discussed so far are characterized either by a single passband and/or a single stopband There are applications where filters with multiple passbands and stopbands are required The comb filter is an example of such filters
Stability Condition in Terms of the Pole Locations A causal LTI digital filter is BIBO stable if and only if its impulse response h[n] is absolutely summable, i.e., We now develop a stability condition in terms of the pole locations of the transfer function H(z)
