scipy.signal.cheb1ord

scipy.signal.cheb1ord(wp, ws, gpass, gstop, analog=False)

Chebyshev type I filter order selection.

Return the order of the lowest order digital or analog Chebyshev Type I 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 Chebyshev type I filter that meets specs.

wn : ndarray or float

The Chebyshev natural frequency (the “3dB frequency”) for use with cheby1 to give filter results.
