filtertype : string or name, the type of filter

window : string or name, the window type

normalize : truefalse, whether to normalize

container : Array, predefined Array for holding the result

The GenerateFiniteImpulseResponseFilterTaps( n, freq ) command generates a taps array for a finite impulse response filter.  The resulting array may be used with the command FiniteImpulseResponseFilter to effect filtering operations on a sample.

For a low-pass or high-pass filter, a single frequency freq is required. It must be strictly positive and less than $\frac{1}{2}$.

For a band-pass or band-stop filter, a pair [lowfreq, highfreq] of low and high frequencies are required.  Each frequency must be positive and less than $\frac{1}{2}$; they must additionally satisfy $\mathrm{lowfreq}<\mathrm{highfreq}$.

Specify the type of filter with the filtertype option.  It can take any of the values "lowpass", "highpass", "bandpass" and "bandstop". The option values can be given as a name or as a string.

The type of window to use is indicated by the window option.  It can take any of the following values: "Bartlett", "Blackman", "Hamming" and "Hann". The option values can be given as a name or as a string.

The normalize option specifies whether to normalize the filter coefficients produced, and can be either of the values true or false.  The default is normalize = true.

If the container=C option is provided, then the results are put into C and C is returned. With this option, no additional memory is allocated to store the result. The container must be an Array of size $n$ having datatype float[8].

The GenerateFIRFilterTaps command is provided as an alias.

The SignalProcessing[GenerateFiniteImpulseResponseFilterTaps] command is thread-safe as of Maple 17.
