Comparative study of fir and iir filters for the removal. Fir filters are also preferred over iir filters because they have a linear phase response and are non recursive, whereas iir filters are recursive, and feedback is also involved. Another advantage of fir filters is the fact that they can produce linear phases. Once the analog filter is properly designed, it is then mapped back to the discretetime domain to obtain a digital filter that meets the specifications.
