Recursive IIR Filter (Infinite Impulse Response Filter)

  • Filter for which the output depends on previous inputs and outputs;

  • An impulse extinguishes them after an indefinite period of time.

We'll implement it by simply following the difference equation:

\(y\left(n\right)=-\sum_{k=1}^{N}{a_ky\left(n-k\right)}+\sum_{k=0}^{M}{b_kx\left(n-k\right)}\) (3)

\(\rightarrow\) Presence of poles, risk of instability.

\(\rightarrow\) Minimum phase systems exist if all the zeros of the numerator are inside the unit circle.

\(\rightarrow\) Rational filters cannot have a linear phase.
