Iir filters conventional designed directly from analog filter counterparts perform better than the fir filter for the same order recursive in both input and output samples extremely sensitive to filter coefficients performance is below par due to registerwidth limitations in fixed point machines wave digital filters 3,4. Then select the general tab of the additional settings section. Examples 1 and 2 above are zeroorder filters, as the current output yn depends only on the current input xn and not on any previous inputs. For an order n linear phase fir filter, the group delay is n2, and the filtered signal is simply delayed by n2 time steps and the magnitude of its fourier transform is scaled by.
