2. it’s phase shift is increased/decreased (by addition of subtraction) by the phase of system’s
FR at that frequency.
note 1 for an LTI systems, its output will never contain a frequency that is not available in the
input (magnitude relationship), e,i LTI systems do not generate new frequencies.
All-pass filter and linear phase Consider the LTI system with the following frequency re-
sponse:
H(jω) = e−jωt0
Its magnitude and phase shift are:
All the input’s frequencies pass with not amplitude alteration, However their phase linearly decrease
(lag) proportionally to the frequency.
If the input is x(t)
Y (jω) = X(jω)e−jωt0 ⇒ y(t) = x(t − t0 )
Note 2: A linear phase system leads to an output that is just a time delayed input
General band-pass systems For band-pass systems, The phase characteristics is only mean-
ingful within the pass-band, since outside the pass-band, the magnitude is zero.
Note 3: A linear phase system (filter) is one with a linear phase response in the pass-band
Note 4: A nonlinear phase in filters is not genrally desirable as it leads to (phase) distortion

• Since the input contains only one (positive) frequency ω0 , the output must contain only one
frequency , and its ω0 , and thus is also a cosine.
• the output’s magnitude will be the input magnitude multiplied by the magnitude of H(jω)
at ω0 .
• its phase shift will and the input phase shift increase by the phase shift of of H(jω) at ω0 .

Amplitude spectrum characteristics√ Aside from the cut-off frequency, which is the frequency
at which the amplitude drops to 2/2 (or −3db). The amplitude spectrum characteristics expresses
how close the filter’s amplitude is to the ideal filter. A practical filter will go through three phases:
1. pass-band: is it represented by the frequency range [0, ωp ], inside which the amplitude is
within ±Gp of 1.
2. Stop-band: it is represented by the frequency ωst after which the amplitude is always less
than a specified gain Gst .
3. Transition-band: is it represented by the intermediate frequency range [ωp , ωst ] between the
pass-band and stop-band . Ideally this range should as small as possible
The next figure illustrates these parameters. The shaded area is forbidden.

Phase spectrum characteristics The phase characteristics measures how close to linear is the
phase whithin the band-pass:

Φ(ω) = 0 < ω < ωc

For a linear phase filter ∠H(jω) = −ωt0
Φ(ω) = −t0 Constant
Time response measure the the amount of ringing in the step response of the filter.
The ringing is the amount of oscillation in the step response before settling. Therefore is usually
measured as the settling time which is also proportional to the overshoot.
