Sirs, In many of the textbooks, the impulse response of a filter is given as a SINC function. If we ignore the non-causal nature of the impulse response, still the impulse response extends, in theory at least, for infinite duration. My question is, since the impulse response is infinite in duration, does that mean that this represents IIR type of structure? Thanks, manish

Developers would take a perfectly good, productive strawberry farm and pave it over to put in a housing development, then a bunch of new people would move into those houses and admire the rural views out their back windows. Then, when the next developer came in, the people who would shout the loudest in complaint about the loss of the "rural character" of the place would be the people in the newest housing development. -- Tim Wescott Control system and signal processing consulting www.wescottdesign.com

But generally an IIR filter refers to a filter with feedback among the states, with the consequent exponentially-dying characteristic. Sinc filters are handy in textbooks when you want to get a point across, but in real use they're always approximated, and an approximate sinc is often not the best filter to use. -- Tim Wescott Control system and signal processing consulting www.wescottdesign.com
