Introduction
In this lab, you will investigate the characteristics of single pole filters and design filters for achieving the required effect. Single pole filters, also known as first-order filters, are basic yet effective tools for shaping the frequency response of a system, characterized by a single pole in their transfer function. They are commonly used in various applications due to their simplicity of implementation.
There are two commonly used equations for single pole filters, shown as below
Equation 1:
Equation 2:
Here, are coefficients in the general transfer function formula: . You may assume that and all other coefficients are zeros. is a positive continuous variable.
 
Question 1 –​Basic Filter Response Analysis[30 marks]
In this question, you will be asked to investigate the time and frequency response characteristics of the single pole filters. Based on Equation 1 and 2, complete the following tasks.
Task 1: For each type of single pole filters shown in Equation 1 and 2, is it a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter or Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter?
