    Filter System
AI Thread Summary
In signal processing, a system can be a filter, and filters serve various purposes in digital signal processing (DSP). Filters are represented by a system function in the z-transform, highlighting their mathematical relationship. While some filters function as anti-aliasing tools, others may act as differentiators or integrators. The distinction lies in the specific applications and types of processing they perform. Understanding this relationship clarifies their roles in DSP.

Hi,
In the context of signal processing, I am curious about what's the relation and difference between system and filter? Are they the same?

Thanks and regards!

Yes Dear, a system in DSP can be a filter, and a filter can be use for different types of processing of signal in digital domain. A filter is always represented by a system function in z-transform. Some filters can be just anti-aliasing, while some can be differentiators or integrators. I think it is clear now.
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
