scipy.signal.buttord¶
- scipy.signal.buttord(wp, ws, gpass, gstop, analog=False)[source]¶
Butterworth filter order selection.
Return the order of the lowest order digital or analog Butterworth filter that loses no more than gpass dB in the passband and has at least gstop dB attenuation in the stopband.
Parameters : wp, ws : float
Passband and stopband edge frequencies. For digital filters, these are normalized from 0 to 1, where 1 is the Nyquist frequency, pi radians / sample. (wp and ws are thus in half-cycles / sample.) For example:
- Lowpass: wp = 0.2, ws = 0.3
- Highpass: wp = 0.3, ws = 0.2
- Bandpass: wp = [0.2, 0.5], ws = [0.1, 0.6]
- Bandstop: wp = [0.1, 0.6], ws = [0.2, 0.5]
For analog filters, wp and ws are in radians / second.
gpass : float
The maximum loss in the passband (dB).
gstop : float
The minimum attenuation in the stopband (dB).
analog : bool, optional
When True, return an analog filter, otherwise a digital filter is returned.
Returns : ord : int
The lowest order for a Butterworth filter which meets specs.
wn : ndarray or float
The Butterworth natural frequency (i.e. the “3dB frequency”). Should be used with butter to give filter results.
