A type of [[Finite Impulse Response Filters|signal filter]].
$\huge \begin{align}
y_{t}=x_{t} - R^{L}x_{t-L}
\end{align} $
Where $L\in \Z^{+}$ delay and $R\in\R$. Usually, $R \approx 1, R<1$ (close to).
The [[Transfer Function]] is:
$\huge \begin{align}
\mathcal{H}(z) &= 1- R^{L}z^{-L} \\
&= \frac{z^{L}-R^{L}}{z^{L}}
\end{align}
$
The roots of $\mathcal{H}$ are:
$\huge \begin{align}
z &= R e^{i \frac{2\pi}{L} k}, k \in \Z^{+}
\end{align} $
Which are $L$ complex numbers on the circle of radius $R$.
$\huge \begin{align}
|H(\omega)| &= \frac{{\left|e^{i\omega L} -R^{L}\right|}}{|e^{i\omega L}|} \\
&= \left| e^{i \omega L} - R^{L}\right| \\
&= \prod_{k=0}^{L-1} \left| e^{i\omega} -\mathrm{Re}^{i \frac{2\pi}{L}k}\right|
\end{align} $
Which is the the product of the distances of $z=e^{i\omega}$ to all roots of $z^{L}-R$ (evenly spaced numbers on the circle of radius $R$).
