it's a filter, but a true Hilbert transformer is not causal.

a *delayed* Hilbert transformer (so the constant delay or the linear phase =
of this has to be accounted for) can be done to any degree of precision (if=
 you're willing to throw taps at it) with an FIR (with a sorta halfband-odd=
-symmetry) with (non-delayed) impulse response of

    h[n] =3D (1-(-1)^n) * 1/(pi*n) * w[n]

where w[n] is a window function that you like.  you can also use MATLAB's r=
emez() or firls() to design an optimal h[n] for a given length.  note that =
for even n, h[n]=3D0 (because of halfband-symmetry) which should be incorpo=
rated into the FIR code.  of course, you need to delay the whole thing by 1=
/2 of the width of w[n] and your non-hilberted signal needs to be delayed b=
y the same amount so you have an "in-phase" and "quadrature" pair (albeit a=
 delayed pair of signals).
