Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of Complex Sinusoid
Introduction This blog derives the frequency response of a complex sinusoid using the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). The derivation starts by apply the discrete time

Comb Filter Introduction and Analysis
Introduction A comb filter is a multiplier-less filter, meaning it only uses additions when computing the impulse response. The comb filter is one of the

Band Pass Single Pole IIR Filter Design
Introduction A low-pass single pole infinite impulse response (IIR) filter is transformed into a band pass filter using simple mathematics! A previous blog described the
