Re: Can a LPF have linear phase when the impuse response is not symmetric?

However, for FIR filters with real coefficients, symmetry or anti-
symmetry are necessary and sufficient for the filter to have linear
phase response.

Did you mean "...causality and symmetry or antisymmetry are necessary
and sufficient..."? Otherwise I would disagree, a simple counterexample
being any fractional-sample-delayed version of a sinc() signal with
bandwidth less than or equal to Fs/2.
