 Illustration of the Window Technique
The desired frequency response of any digital filter is periodic in frequency
and can be expanded in a Fourier series, i.e.

H(e^ jw) is an unrealizable IIR filter?

The infinite duration impulse response can be converted to a finite duration
impulse response by truncating the infinite series at

But, this results in undesirable oscillations in the passband and stopband of

the digital filter.

This is due to the slow convergence of the Fourier series near the points of
discontinuity.
These undesirable oscillations can be reduced by using a set of time-
limited weighting functions, w(n), referred to as window functions, to
modify the Fourier coefficients.
