Linear Phase Filters

Filters that delay all frequencies by the same amount are called linear phase filters.

Linear phase filters have a symmetric impulse response.

For this filter, the impulse response is symmetric about sample 0.5, which corresponds to a waveform delay of one-half sample at all frequencies.
