A FIR system is described by the system function
H(z) = 1 + 7/2 z⁻¹ + 3/2 z⁻²
The system is
- maximum phase
- minimum phase
- mixed phase
- 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.
