scipy.signal.iirfilter

scipy.signal.iirfilter(N, Wn, rp=None, rs=None, btype='band', analog=False, ftype='butter', output='ba')

IIR digital and analog filter design given order and critical points.

Design an Nth-order digital or analog filter and return the filter coefficients.

Parameters:

N : int

The order of the filter.

Wn : array_like

A scalar or length-2 sequence giving the critical frequencies. For digital filters, Wn is normalized from 0 to 1, where 1 is the Nyquist frequency, pi radians/sample. (Wn is thus in half-cycles / sample.) For analog filters, Wn is an angular frequency (e.g. rad/s).

rp : float, optional

For Chebyshev and elliptic filters, provides the maximum ripple in the passband. (dB)

rs : float, optional

For Chebyshev and elliptic filters, provides the minimum attenuation in the stop band. (dB)

btype : {‘bandpass’, ‘lowpass’, ‘highpass’, ‘bandstop’}, optional

The type of filter. Default is ‘bandpass’.

analog : bool, optional

When True, return an analog filter, otherwise a digital filter is returned.

ftype : str, optional

The type of IIR filter to design:

• Butterworth : ‘butter’
• Chebyshev I : ‘cheby1’
• Chebyshev II : ‘cheby2’
• Cauer/elliptic: ‘ellip’
• Bessel/Thomson: ‘bessel’

output : {‘ba’, ‘zpk’, ‘sos’}, optional

Type of output: numerator/denominator (‘ba’), pole-zero (‘zpk’), or second-order sections (‘sos’). Default is ‘ba’.

Returns:

b, a : ndarray, ndarray

Numerator (b) and denominator (a) polynomials of the IIR filter. Only returned if output='ba'.

z, p, k : ndarray, ndarray, float

Zeros, poles, and system gain of the IIR filter transfer function. Only returned if output='zpk'.

sos : ndarray

Second-order sections representation of the IIR filter. Only returned if output=='sos'.

Examples

Generate a 17th-order Chebyshev II bandpass filter and plot the frequency response:

>>> from scipy import signal
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

>>> b, a = signal.iirfilter(17, [50, 200], rs=60, btype='band',
...                         analog=True, ftype='cheby2')
>>> w, h = signal.freqs(b, a, 1000)
>>> fig = plt.figure()
>>> ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
>>> ax.semilogx(w, 20 * np.log10(abs(h)))
>>> ax.set_title('Chebyshev Type II bandpass frequency response')
>>> ax.set_xlabel('Frequency [radians / second]')
>>> ax.set_ylabel('Amplitude [dB]')
>>> ax.axis((10, 1000, -100, 10))
>>> ax.grid(which='both', axis='both')
>>> plt.show()
