SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the validity of the equation H(ω-ωo) + H(ω+ωo) = 2*H(ω) in determining the amplitude response of a filter. Participants agree that if the equation holds for all ω, it implies that H(ω) can be expressed as H(ω) = cω + m + f(ω), where f(ω) is an arbitrary periodic function with period ωo. The lack of context in the original question led to confusion, as multiple amplitude response shapes could satisfy the equation, such as square or triangular forms. The conversation emphasizes the importance of framing questions with sufficient detail for clarity.

Draw the amplitude response of a filter whose characteristic equation is:

H(ω-ωo) + H(ω+ωo) = 2*H(ω)
I thank you for reading this question.

If given as is, is this a valid question? I ask because, without context, I reckon there could be multiple answers to it.

Your terse response - a yes or no - is all that’s requested.wirefree

If this equation is valid for all ω you can determine a lot about H(ω).

Thank you, mfb.

I can appreciate your point of view. On a closer look, it's my question that wasn't framed well.
Please allow me another opportunity.

When asked to draw the amplitude response of a filter whose characteristic equation is given to be such and such, and that's all that's known and given, I meant, when I expressed the doubt that "there could be multiple answers", that the amplitude response could take any shape - square, triangular, etc.

I am sure you'll see now what I meant: the question lacks details.

Please do share a thought.

What I was hinting towards: If H(ω-ωo) + H(ω+ωo) = 2*H(ω) for all ω then H(ω)=cω+m+f(ω) where f(ω) is an arbitrary periodic function with period ωo.
