5. FIR Filters: Moving Average Filters

FIR filters are a crucial component in digital signal processing, characterized by a finite number of coefficients and their inherent stability. The Moving Average Filter (MAF), a specific type of FIR filter, is celebrated for its simplicity and effectiveness in smoothing signals and reducing noise. Key characteristics of FIR filters, such as linear phase and non-recursive nature, contribute to their widespread applications in various domains including audio processing, signal smoothing, and real-time data analysis.
