Uses of filters • To remove unwanted components in a signal • To “shape” the spectrum of a complex wave • To determine spectra of complex waves

Linear system • Changes only amplitude of input components • Does not add additional components • No distortion
Nonlinear system • Changes frequency along with amplitude • Introduces additional components not present in the input signal (frequency domain) • Harmonics • Combination tones • Introduces distortion (time domain)
