### Relationship between sampling frequency and number of coefficients [duplicate]

I have been designing a bandpass filter with a passband between $95\textrm{ kHz}$ and $105\textrm{ kHz}$ (using MATLAB's fdatool and ...

### What is the intuitive idea behind FIR filter order and filter parameters? [duplicate]

I know that if we decrease stop-band and pass-band attenuation, and also decreasing the transition band, the filter order will increase as well as filter performance. But what is the intuitive idea ...

### Number of taps needed in an FIR filter to remove DC

An FIR filter is being used to remove the DC of an ECG. The sampling rate is 500Hz. How many taps would said FIR filter require (theoretically and practically) to filter out the DC. P.S. the filter ...

### Does Higher Sampling Rate Increase SNR?

I have AM demodulated voice samples that come from a 14bit ADC that I will filter, process, and then send to a CODEC. I can choose a sample rate of 96kSPS, 64kSPS, 48kSPS, or 32kSPS at the CODEC. ...

### Design narrow bandpass filter for signal with high sampling rate

I have to bandpass-filter a signal which has been sampled with 4000 Hz. Only frequencies around 15 Hz shall remain after filtering (let's say in a band between 10 Hz and 20 Hz; the narrower the ...

### Designing bandpass FIR filter MATLAB

I am trying to design a FIR bandpass filter for a STM32F407 microcontroller with a passband of 1kHz between 59500 Hz and 60500 Hz or something similar (since I don't really know how tight I can ...

### How do Anti-Aliasing Filters filter the signal?

I have programmed a anti-aliasing filter that uses the fourier-transformation and makes a perfect cutoff on my desired cutoff frequency for downsampling without aliasing. I have read about other ...

### Is there really no perfect digital filter?

In context of transition width vs. stopband attenuation, different windows (Blackman, Hamming, etc) are compared in terms of tradeoffs between the two, always noting that one cannot perfect both. Why ...
