I think "fir" would be a more specific filter type name than "wideband". (i.e.
there are wikipedia pages for sinc and FIR filters, but not one for "wideband"
filters)
Isn't "fir" a bit too generic for this case? Since Wideband here is a class of a FIR filter.
Maybe something like "wideband-fir" or "fir-wideband" would work better?
For this particular chip, no, there is only one FIR filter option on the chip,
so having additional qualifiers doesn't really make a difference.

If we can find a chip that has more than one FIR filter option, then we could
use that to figure out what additional classifiers are might make sense.
"fir-wideband" would only be useful if the same chip also had a "fir-narrowband"
option. But we might find that instead the chip is actually "fir-type1"
"fir-type2" or something like that.

(FWIW, my signal processing textbook describes Type I, II, III, IV FIR filters
but doesn't say anything about "wideband" FIR filters.)
