      'My Favorites' is a special kind of lens which you can use to bookmark modules and collections directly in Connexions. 'My Favorites' can only be seen by you, and collections saved in 'My Favorites' can remember the last module you were on. You need a Connexions account to use 'My Favorites'.

      Definition of a lens

      Lenses

      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      What is in a lens?

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

      Who can create a lens?

      Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

      What are tags? tag icon

      Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.

FOUR TYPES OF LINEAR-PHASE FIR FILTERS

Linear-phase FIR filter can be divided into four basic types.

Table 1
Type impulse response
I symmetric length is odd
II symmetric length is even
III anti-symmetric length is odd
IV anti-symmetric length is even

When hn h n is nonzero for 0≤n≤N−1 0 n N 1 (the length of the impulse response hn h n is NN), then the symmetry of the impulse response can be written as

hn=hN−1−n h n h N 1 n (1)
and the anti-symmetry can be written as
hn=-hN−1−n h n h N 1 n (2)

TYPE I: ODD-LENGTH SYMMETRIC

The frequency response of a length N=5 N 5 FIR Type I filter can be written as follows.

H f ω= h 0 + h 1 ⅇ-ⅈω+ h 2 ⅇ-2ⅈω+ h 1 ⅇ-3ⅈω+ h 0 ⅇ-4ω H f ω h 0 h 1 ω h 2 -2 ω h 1 -3 ω h 0 -4 ω (3)
