A FIR system is described by the system function H(z) = 1 + 7/2 z⁻¹ + 3/2 z⁻² The system is

  1. maximum phase
  2. minimum phase
  3. mixed phase
  4. zero phase

Correct answer: mixed phase

Solution

H(z)=1+3.5z^-1+1.5z^-2 has zeros where z^2+3.5z+1.5=0, giving z=-0.5 and z=-3. One zero is inside the unit circle and one outside, so the FIR system is mixed phase, not minimum phase.
