the following difference equation find both transfer function for (i) and (ii)
find the difference equation for part (iii) and also, draw the direct form
structure for all parts:
(i) y(n) = 0.5 x(n) – 1.5 x(n-1) + 1.7 x(n-2) - 1.5 x(n-3) + 0.5 x( n-4)
(ii) y(n) = 0.2 x(n) – 0.9 x(n-1) + 0.7 x (n-2) + 0.7 x(n-3) – 0.9 x( n-4) + 0.2 x(n-5)
(iii) H(z) = 1.5 + 3.5 z-3 + 1.5 z-6
Problem 2:
A recursive or Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) digital filter is described by the
following difference equation:
