The filter response can also be completely characterized in the frequency domain by its transfer function, which is the Fourier transform of the impulse response h. Typical filter design goals are to realize a particular frequency response, that is, the magnitude of the transfer function ; the importance of the phase of the transfer function varies according to the application, inasmuch as the shape of a waveform can be distorted to a greater or lesser extent in the process of achieving a desired ( amplitude ) response in the frequency domain.

LTI filters can be completely described by their frequency response and phase response, the specification of which uniquely defines their impulse response, and vice versa.
