Clay, I'm holding you personally responsible for the fact that I'm
sitting here trying to get my head around this paper instead of doing my
actual, entirely un-Hilbert-transform-related, job.

Sorry about the destraction ;-) It should get you to think about
vectors and rotations. You know how much I like matrices ;-)

IIRC, as long as the impulse response of the FIR is stictly antimetric
around the center tap, you will have an exact 90 degree phase shift (+ a
fixed delay) at all frequencies regardless of the number of taps. (A
trivial example is a three-tap filter whose impulse response is -1, 0, +1.)
The problem, as other posters have commented, is that for a given amplitude
passband bandwidth, low-order FIR filters have larger amounts of amplitude
ripple in the filter passband than higher-order filters and no filter with
a finite number of taps can have an ampltude bandwidth extending from DC to
fs/2.

It is possible to transform the filter structure such that the amplitude
response is flat but the phase shift error varies over the passband. What
is not possible with a finite number of taps is to obtain a flat passband
from 0 to fs/2 Hz and a 90 degree phase shift (+ fixed delay)
simultaneously.
