This document discusses different types of finite impulse response (FIR) filters for smoothing signals, including 3-point, 2-point, and 5-point average filters. It explains that a 3-term moving average filter is one of the simplest FIR filters and works by averaging the current and neighboring input samples. The 3-point average filter provides better smoothing than the 2-point average filter, while the 5-point average filter produces even smoother results than the 3-point average filter.

One of the simplest FIR filters we may consider is a 3term
moving average filter of the form ;
An FIR filter is based on a feed-forward difference equation
as demonstrated by above equation. Feed-forward means that there is no feedback of past or future outputs to form the present output, just input related terms. From the 3-point average graph, the filter can be called a smoothing filter. Which is clear showed that the action of this filter. Take an example at n=1 and n=2.This figure shows that the process of xx1[n] from n=1 and n=2 with 3 steps which showed in yy[n] vector. By comparing to the 3 point average and 2 point average, we can conclude that the 3 point average filtering show better result than the two point average filter.
However, by comparing to the 5 point average and 3 point
average, we can conclude that the 5 point average filtering show better result than the 3 point average filter.
