Engineering Lab Report

This laboratory report evaluates the performance of FIR and IIR digital filters in removing high-frequency noise from telemetry signals. The study reveals that FIR filters maintain linear phase delay but require more computational resources, while IIR filters offer lower computational overhead with minor phase distortion. The conclusion highlights that FIR filters are better for phase-sensitive applications, whereas IIR filters are more suitable for real-time scenarios.

Performance Evaluation of Digital Signal Filtering Techniques | Department Laboratory Manual

1. Objective
The objective of this laboratory experiment is to evaluate and compare the performance, frequency
response, and computational complexity of Finite Impulse Response (FIR) and Infinite Impulse Response
(IIR) digital filters when removing high-frequency noise from dynamic telemetry signals.

2. Methodology
A synthetic test signal was synthesized by combining low-frequency fundamental sine waves with
additive high-frequency Gaussian white noise. The experiment proceeded through the following steps:
 Filter Design FIR filters were designed using the Parks-McClellan equiripple algorithm, while IIR
filters were modeled using Butterworth and Chebyshev topologies.
 Signal Processing Both filter implementations processed the noisy input signal under identical
sampling rates and cut-off frequencies.
 Spectral Analysis Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithms were applied to analyze frequency spectra
before and after filtering.

3. Results and Conclusion


The experimental results demonstrated distinct trade-offs between filter types:
 FIR Filter Performance Maintained perfect linear phase delay, preserving exact pulse shapes, but
required a significantly higher filter order and greater computational memory.
 IIR Filter Performance Achieved sharp cutoff roll-off characteristics with substantially lower
computational overhead, though introducing minor non-linear phase distortion near the cutoff
band.
 Conclusion FIR filters are optimal for phase-sensitive signal processing, whereas IIR filters excel in
resource-constrained real-time applications.
