FIR Filter

Started by sneshs August 22, 2008
Hello there,

I'm new in digital signal processing.

I'm going to create a linear phase filter with filter lenght N = 512 for audio signal
processing in Matlab. But I'm kind of confused about the the relation between filter and fft
and ifft.

I have measured a frequency response of the dummy head. This data is the magnitude
response at diffrent frequency points, i think I can say that the data is in a frequency
domain, is that correct?
Also I have measured the phase response. What I'm going to do is to design a linear phase
filter with the phase.

To create a linear phase filter the coefficients must be symmetrical around the N/2 or zero
and the imaginary part must be complex conjugated. My question is ,what is in my case
the real and what is the imaginary part of my measured data?

Thanks in advance,
sneshs
