scipy.signal.kaiser_atten

scipy.signal.kaiser_atten(numtaps, width)[source]

Compute the attenuation of a Kaiser FIR filter.

Given the number of taps N and the transition width width, compute the attenuation a in dB, given by Kaiser’s formula:

a = 2.285 * (N - 1) * pi * width + 7.95
Parameters :

N : int

The number of taps in the FIR filter.

width : float

The desired width of the transition region between passband and stopband (or, in general, at any discontinuity) for the filter.

Returns :

a : float

The attenuation of the ripple, in dB.
