Choosing a filter fir or iir understanding the design. The transfer functions of finite impulse response have only zeros. Difference between iir and fir filters difference between. The mere fact that there exists so many techniques for designing a filter, suggests that there is no single optimal. Fir filters are also called allzero, nonrecursive, or movingaverage ma filters. It means that there are in nitive impulse responses. The following diagrams show the filter structure and the data types used within the discrete fir filter block for fixedpoint signals. There exists two different types of linear time invariant lti filters from transfer function standpoint.

Discrete filters are implemented using software or dedicated hardware and. Iir filters are not stable as they are recursive in nature and feedback is also involved in the process of calculating output sample values. The transfer function of an fir filter is given by the z transform of its impulse response. Iir filters get their name because their impulse response extends for an.
