File:Frequency response of 3-term boxcar filter.gif

Summary

Description
English: Frequency response (discrete time Fourier transform) of a 3-tap boxcar filter. To produce these plots, samples of the DTFT are obtained by computing the DFT of the zero-filled impulse response. Alternatively, one can directly sample the closed form of the DTFT:   and plot the magnitude and angle of the samples. (See File:MA2Amp_C.svg)
Note: At the two frequencies where the magnitude goes to zero, there are phase discontinuities of π radians. They are not artifacts of phase wrapping. Rather, they indicate a sign inversion... multiplication by -1. Since that is equivalent to an amplitude modification, it does not affect the filter's property of phase linearity. An illustration of that can be viewed at File:Amplitude & phase vs frequency for a 3-term boxcar filter.gif.

This script was derived from the original in order to address some GNUplot bugs: a missing title and two missing axis labels. And to add an Octave print function, which creates an SVG file. Alternatively, the gnuplot screen image has an export function that produces an SVG file, but the π characters aren't as professional-looking.
