First Order - Second Order Iir Filters

This document discusses first-order and second-order IIR filters. It covers: 1) The difference equation, system function, impulse response, and implementation of a first-order IIR filter. Stability requires |a1| < 1. It can act as a lowpass or highpass filter. 2) The difference equation, system function, impulse response, and implementation of a second-order IIR filter. Stability requires poles inside the unit circle (|r| < 1). It can act as a lowpass, highpass, or bandpass filter depending on parameter values. 3) Examples of frequency responses are shown for different parameter values to illustrate the filtering behavior.

Two poles (therefore, a peak) at z = 0 or z = π =⇒ a lowpass or highpass filter
(ii) θ 6= 0, π: a peak at ω̂ = θ =⇒ a bandpass filter.
