What you want is theoretically impossible: if $h(t) \neq 0$ only on a finite interval, then it is not bandlimited. Fortunately, all real-world signals and systems have the property that $H(f) \rightarrow 0$ as $|f| \rightarrow \infty$. This allows you to approximate $h(t)$ very closely with only a finite number of samples. For engineering purposes, this is ...

What you want is basically a delay $$x(t-\tau) \Rightarrow e^{-j\omega \tau}$$ If you can live with $k$ being quantized you can simply use a single tap delay FIR filter. If you need more granularity you need to implement a fractional dealy. I would cascade a shot fractional FIR filter with a long single tab bulk delay filter. If $k$ is positive the filter ...

You can have all the taps be zero except for the last tap and the filter will delay the signal by that number of taps (as an all-pass). This doesn't do any filtering, and it is the actual filtering requirement that would drive the number of taps needed in the filter. For that requirement alone a dual port memory is a good solution for very long delays. The ...

This depends a lot on whether your constraints on the number of taps is computation or memory. If you have a enough memory, you can simply use an FIR with all taps zero except for the last one (Which is $1$). That's equivalent to using a ring buffer and no filter at all. If you don't have enough memeory, things are more tricky. YOu can get delays that are ...

Imagine an incoming signal with 60dB SNR over the whole spectrum. The 60 dB isn't what matters here – what matters is that you've got the same power spectral density all over your spectrum, including the 39/40 that you'll alias onto your remaining band. So, if you don't want the SNR of that remaining band to be affected, you'd need infinite attenuation; can'...

In essence filtfilt does the the following $$y[n] = x[n] \ast h[n] \ast h[-n]$$ It's convolution with the impulse response and then the time reversed impulse response (in any order since the convolution is commutative). So in the frequency domain it's simply $$Y(z) = X(z) \cdot H(z) \cdot H'(z) = X(z) \cdot |H(z)|^2$$ which obviously is zero-phase since \$|H(...
