Impulse Response
The impulse response can be calculated if we set in the above relation, where is the Kronecker delta impulse. The impulse response for an FIR filter then becomes the set of coefficients, as follows
for to .
The Z-transform of the impulse response yields the transfer function of the FIR filter
FIR filters are clearly bounded-input bounded-output (BIBO) stable, since the output is a sum of a finite number of finite multiples of the input values, so can be no greater than times the largest value appearing in the input.

Famous quotes containing the words impulse and/or response:
“The true critic is he who bears within himself the dreams and ideas and feelings of myriad generations, and to whom no form of thought is alien, no emotional impulse obscure.”
—Oscar Wilde (18541900)
“[In response to this question from an interviewer: U. S. News and World Report described you this way: Shes intolerant, preachy, judgmental and overbearing. Shes bright, articulate, passionate and kind. Is that an accurate description?:]
Its ... pretty good [ellipsis in original].”
