of the signal. For example, when the square wave, shown in Figure 3-5, enters a filter, an ideal
filter smooths the edges of the input, whereas a real filter causes some ringing in the signal as
the higher frequency components of the signal are delayed.

Figures 3-6 and 3-7 show the difference in response to a square wave between an ideal and a real
filter, respectively.
