scipy.signal.freqs

scipy.signal.freqs(b, a, worN=200, plot=None)[source]

Compute frequency response of analog filter.

Given the M-order numerator b and N-order denominator a of an analog filter, compute its frequency response:

        b[0]*(jw)**M + b[1]*(jw)**(M-1) + ... + b[M]
H(w) = ----------------------------------------------
        a[0]*(jw)**N + a[1]*(jw)**(N-1) + ... + a[N]
Parameters
barray_like

Numerator of a linear filter.

aarray_like

Denominator of a linear filter.

worN{None, int, array_like}, optional

If None, then compute at 200 frequencies around the interesting parts of the response curve (determined by pole-zero locations). If a single integer, then compute at that many frequencies. Otherwise, compute the response at the angular frequencies (e.g., rad/s) given in worN.

plotcallable, optional

A callable that takes two arguments. If given, the return parameters w and h are passed to plot. Useful for plotting the frequency response inside freqs.

Returns
wndarray

The angular frequencies at which h was computed.

hndarray

The frequency response.

freqz

Compute the frequency response of a digital filter.

Notes

Using Matplotlib’s “plot” function as the callable for plot produces unexpected results, this plots the real part of the complex transfer function, not the magnitude. Try lambda w, h: plot(w, abs(h)).

Examples

>>> from scipy.signal import freqs, iirfilter

>>> b, a = iirfilter(4, [1, 10], 1, 60, analog=True, ftype='cheby1')

>>> w, h = freqs(b, a, worN=np.logspace(-1, 2, 1000))

>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> plt.semilogx(w, 20 * np.log10(abs(h)))
>>> plt.xlabel('Frequency')
>>> plt.ylabel('Amplitude response [dB]')
>>> plt.grid()
>>> plt.show()
