- See Oppenheim and Shafer, _Digital Signal Processing_ (1st edition),
- Section 7.4: "Hilbert Transform Relations for Complex Sequences." In
- particular, see Section 7.4.1, "Design of Hiblert Transformers."
- I quote: "...the ideal Hibert transformer or 90-degree phase shifter
- takes its place alongside the ideal lowpass filter and ideal
- bandlimited differentiator as valuable theoretical concepts which
- correspond to noncausal systems and for which the system function
- exists only in a restricted sense."
-
- In the same section, O&S discuss finite-duration approximations of the
- ideal Hilbert transformer using frequency-sampling, windowing, and
- equiripple approximations. Finally, they reference B. Gold, A. V.
- Oppenheim, and C. M. Rader, "Theory and Implementation of the Discrete
- Hibert Transform," _Proc. Symp. Computer Processing in
- Communications_, Vol. 19, Polytechnic Press, 1970, New York for a
- recursive implementation of a 90-degree phase-splitting system.
-
- Good luck.
