Frequency Shaping and Filtering
By choice of H(jω) (or H(e

)) as a function of ω,we can shape
the frequency composition of the output
- Preferential amplification
- Selective filtering of some frequencies
Example #1,Audio System
Adjustable
Filter
Equalizer Speaker
Bass,Mid-range,Treble controls
For audio signals,the amplitude is much more important than the phase.
Example #2,Frequency Selective Filters
Lowpass Filters:
Only show
amplitude here.
— Filter out signals outside of the frequency range of interest

Note,|H| = 1 and ∠H = 0 for the ideal filters in the passbands,
no need for the phase plot.

Example #4,Nonrecursive DT (FIR) filters
Rolls off at lower

increases
Example #5,Simple DT,Edge” Detector
— DT 2-point,differentiator”
Passes high-frequency components

Demo,Apply different filters to two-dimensional image signals.
Note,To really understand these examples,we need to understand
frequency contents of aperiodic signals? the Fourier Transform
