Signals can be divided into three categories: continuous-time (analog) signals, discrete-time signals, and digital signals. The signals that we encounter daily are mostly analog signals. These signals are defined continuously in time, have an infinite range of amplitude values, and can be processed using analog electronics containing both active and passive circuit elements. Discrete-time signa...

(b) There are several ways to construct linear-phase FIR filters, including windowing the IDTFT of an ideal response, but in order to ensure a minimax-optimal filter (i.e., a filter that minimizes the maximum deviation from a piecewise-constant ideal specification), the way we know is via the Parks-McClellan approach. In fact. this filter was designed in Matlab as: >> h = firpm(8, [0 0.55 0.65 ...
