Filter question

Started by narokel February 8, 2003
Hello,

I have a question about filters. From my understanding, a filter
takes in an input signal and produces a resulting output signal.

Are there filters that take in more than one input signal, and
produce the resulting output signal. If there are such multi-input
filters, can you provide their names.

Basically, I would like to design a filter that takes in two or three
input signals and produces an output signal. If you could provide the
names of specific filters or the names of these types of filters...
that would be greatly appreciated.



what do you want your filter to do to the signals?
what are the signals a representation of? what is the
output signal a representation of?

Hi,

If a function takes more than one input and produces
only one output, then it is probably doing mixing.
Though filter banks come somewhat close to your
description. You can also combine filtering and
mixing.
But if you are referring to simple multi-channel
filtering, filter command can do that.

Do you have any specific application in mind?
