• The ideal Hilbert Transformer has frequency response (over one period) as
shown in the figure below.

• The frequency response of ideal Hilbert Transformer and that of ideal LPF
are similar, each having discontinuities separated by π.
• That is

Note: 1) From the equation of ideal Hilbert Transformer it has an anti
symmetric impulse response implying that it can be realized by using
either a Type 3 or a Type 4 FIR filter.
2) The ideal Hilbert Transformer has a unity magnitude response for all
ω.
3) This is not satisfied by either a Type 3 or Type 4 FIR filter, since a
Type 3 filter has zero magnitude response at ω = 0 and Type 4 filter has
zer0 magnitude at ω = 0 and ω = π

4) However, in practice, ωL ≤| ω |≤ ωH is the finite frequency range of band
pass signals of interest.
7) This property can be maintained by a Type 3 linear phase FIR filter if the
desired amplitude response is symmetrical with respect to (π/2).
