### How can I generate an ideal 2D low-pass filter in MATLAB?

I've been tasked with creating a 32 x 32 half-band low-pass image filter in MATLAB. My thinking is to generate the ideal filter mask in the frequency domain and compute the corresponding convolution ...

### filtering difference b/w freq and time domain

When you want to get the specific frequency (ex. around 1000Hz), you might take FFT, remain the frequency you want, and reduce the power of the other frequencies you do not. ex.) if fs=16khz and ...

### FFTW audio artifacts when modifying magnitudes in frequency domain

I'm currently working with FFT (FFTW3) that I'm using to apply treatments on audio files frequencies. The Forward/Backward test is passed, since I can get the exact same soundfile when processing ...

### Building a FIR filter from an arbitrary frequency-magnitude response curve (eg. Least Squares fitting) [duplicate]

I'm trying to create a FIR filter from a magnitude equation, where my starting equation provides the magnitude (amplitude) between 0 and 1 for any given frequency in Hz. I posted the magnitude ...

### Filtering using fourier series

Suppose I have a measured signal $M$ that has frequency components from 0 to 50 Hz. I plot the specturm of this signal using FFT and I observe its frequency content (power vs frequency). Then, I ...

### Use Cases of FFT in Signal Processing [duplicate]

I am trying to learn about signal processing and fft's applications within it. My understanding is that a classical use case for fft is to remove "noise" (ex. high frequencies that are not supposed to ...

### Difference between bandpass filter and using fast fourier transform to extract power of frequency bands

In signal processing, I have heard of two terms: Using band-pass filter to extract some frequency bands. Using Discrete/Fast Fourier Transform (DFT/FFT) to extract some frequency bands. Are these ...
