If your HT has an even number of taps, the necessary delay will not be a 
whole number of sample times. If your HT has an odd number of taps, the 
properly delayed I signal is available at the middle tap of the HT delay 
structure. Both ends of a filtered signal are corrupted with transients. 
  While the whole output is longer than the input by twice the filter 
length, the uncorrupted output is shorter by the same amount.

Since you are doing a Hilbert transform via an FIR filter, then simply
delay your in-phase part by the delay of the Hilbert and then pair the
two together to make your analytic signal. Linear phase FIRs have a
delay of (N+1)/2 samples where N is the number of taps in the filter.

Hello everyone,

just a little question about the good old Hilbert Transform.

- Goal: obtain analytic signal (a(n)+j�(n)) from an in-phase signal
(a(n));
- Tool: Blackfin BF537. I get a sampled signal, and i compute it's hilbert
transform using a FIR filter with coefficients obtained using
Matlab/Scilab's "Hilb" function.
-Problem: I have to create the analytic signal in a numeric fashion... The
signal �(n) coming out of the filter is longer than the initial signal
a(n), by the amount of taps/coeffs in the filter. So, when i reassemble
both signals in a .re and .im structure, the imaginary part is longer... 

The question is, can i just truncate the imaginary signal so that i have
equivalent length signal components? Or should i use a smaller length
signal applied to the input of the filter? This way, i would have:
 - initial signal a[n] of length N
 - filter h length M
 - yields:   �[N]=a[N-M]*h[M]

Although i have not noticed anyproblems with this method, I am not sure if
this is a correct way of proceeding, or if some better method exists...

Thanks for your time DSPers!
