    1. Note that FIR filters have only zeros (no poles). Hence known also as all-zero filters FIR filters also known asfeedforward or non-recursive, or transversal

      Other names for FIR filters:

      all-zero filters feedforward non-recursive transversal

    2. FIR filter of lengthM(order N=M-1, watch out! order – number of delays)

      For FIR filters, the length is one more than the order (i.e. if its a 6th order filter, the filter length is 7).

    1. Gibbs phenomenon

      Truncating the ideal impulse response through windowing creates ripple in pass- and stopbands. This is the "Gibbs phenomenon." Non-rectangular windows alter the ripple.

    2. desired frequency response of our digital filter

      ...is expressed as the impulse response of an ideal filter of the type desired (HPF, LPF, band-pass, band-stop, etc).

      Problem: the impulse response of an ideal filter is IIR. To ensure it is causal and finite, the ideal impulse response must be truncated by multiplication with a "window".
