Filter a Rectangular Pulse with no Ringing

Neil RobertsonNeil Robertson May 12, 201610 comments

You can filter a rectangular pulse with no ringing simply by using an FIR whose coefficients are all positive, and make them symmetric to get identical leading and trailing edges. This post walks through a MATLAB example that convolves a normalized Hanning window with a 32-sample rectangular pulse, showing that window length controls edge duration and that shorter windows widen the spectrum. It also notes this is not a QAM pulse-shaping solution.

This is a wordless example of a folded FIR filter. Swedish “Bygglek” = build and play.
