6. FIR Filters: Window Method of Design

The Window Method is a fundamental technique for designing Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters, emphasizing the creation of filters based on desired frequency responses which are then truncated for practical implementation. It outlines the design process, including the choice of window functions that affect filter characteristics and application areas, such as audio and image processing. Overall, the method balances computational efficiency and filter performance through key trade-offs in design.
