Linear phase

Linear phase

Linear phase is a property of a filter, where the phase response of the filter is a linear function of frequency, excluding the possibility of wraps at pmpi. In a causal system, perfect linear phase can be achieved with a discrete-time FIR filter.

Since a linear phase (or generalized linear phase) filter has constant group delay, all frequency components have equal delay times. That is, there is no distortion due of select frequencies; in many applications, this constant group delay is advantageous. By contrast, a filter with "non-linear phase" has a group delay that varies with frequency, resulting in phase distortion.

Some examples of linear and non-linear phase filters are given below.
