== FIR (Finite Impulse Response) Linear filters ==

In digital processing, an [[Finite impulse response|FIR filter]] is a time-continuous filter that is invariant with time. This means that the filter does not depend on the specific point of time, but rather depends on the time duration. The specification of this filter uses a [[Linear filter#FIR transfer functions|transfer function]] which has a frequency response which will only pass the desired frequencies of the input. This type of filter is non-recursive, which means that the output can be completely derived at from a combination of the input without any recursive values of the output. This means that there is no feedback loop that feeds the new output the values of previous outputs. This is an advantage over recursive filters such as [[Infinite impulse response|IIR filter (Infinite Impulse Response)]] in the applications that require a linear phase response because it will pass the input without a phase distortion <ref> IIR Filters and FIR Filters.
