The dtft provides a frequency-domain representation of discrete-time signals and lti discrete-time systems Because of the convergence condition, in many cases. the dtft of a sequence may not exist as a result. it is not possible to make use of such frequency-domain characterization in these cases Copyright C 2001, S K.

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:
Later in the course we shall review various methods of designing frequency-selective filters satisfying prescribed specifications We now describe several low-order FIR and IIR digital filters with reasonable selective frequency responses that often are satisfactory in a number of applications
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)
the Transform Domain An LTI discrete-time system is completely characterized in the time-domain by its impulse response {h[n]} We consider now the use of the DTFT and the z-transform in developing the transformdomain representations of an LTI system
Discrete-Time Systems A discrete-time system processes a given input sequence x[] to generates an output sequencey[n] with more desirable properties In most applications, the discrete-time system is a single-input, single-output system:
Time-Domain Representation Signals are represented as sequences of numbers, called samples Sample value of a typical signal or sequence denoted as x[n] with n being an integer in the range x[n] defined only for integer values of n and undefined for non-integer values of n
