Phase shift and amplitude change when put through FIR filter

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around analyzing a sampled sinusoidal signal with a normalized frequency of 0.30π as it passes through a specified FIR filter. The filter's impulse response is given, and the user seeks to determine the multiplication factor and any phase shift introduced by the filter. Initial calculations involve using the Z-transform to derive the filter's frequency response H(z). The user clarifies their understanding of normalized frequency, realizing it relates to the sampling rate, and concludes that both phase and magnitude can be directly obtained from H(z). The conversation highlights the importance of understanding filter characteristics in signal processing.

Hey all,
I am having trouble with this problem:

A sampled sinusoidal signal having a normalized frequency of 0.30π is sent through an FIR filter. The filter impulse response is,

h[n] = 1/3δ[n] + 1/3δ[n-1] + 1/3δ[n-2]

From this I must find out by what factor the input signal is multiplied by and what the phase shift is, (if there is in fact a phase shift).

my current theory is:
Let z = e^(jω) (j = i for those not in an electrical field)

H(z) = 1/3 + 1/3*z^(n-1) + 1/3*z^(n-2)

y[n] = H(z)*z^n

Then I am lost from here assuming my above theory is even correct. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been stuck on this one for a while. :)

Do you know what "normalized frequency" means? I sure don't. It must be related to the sample time T. So assuming T = 1 then f = 0.3pi/T?
 
Not to worry, figured it out you can obtain phase and magnitude directly from H(z), also normalised frequency is just omega divided by the sampling rate
