scipy.signal.cheb2ord#

scipy.signal.cheb2ord(wp, ws, gpass, gstop, analog=False, fs=None)[source]#

Chebyshev type II filter order selection.

Return the order of the lowest order digital or analog Chebyshev Type II filter that loses no more than gpass dB in the passband and has at least gstop dB attenuation in the stopband.

Parameters
wp, wsfloat

Passband and stopband edge frequencies.

For digital filters, these are in the same units as fs. By default, fs is 2 half-cycles/sample, so these are normalized from 0 to 1, where 1 is the Nyquist frequency. (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 angular frequencies (e.g., rad/s).

gpassfloat

The maximum loss in the passband (dB).

gstopfloat

The minimum attenuation in the stopband (dB).

analogbool, optional

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

fsfloat, optional

The sampling frequency of the digital system.

New in version 1.2.0.

Returns
ordint

The lowest order for a Chebyshev type II filter that meets specs.

wnndarray or float

The Chebyshev natural frequency (the “3dB frequency”) for use with cheby2 to give filter results. If fs is specified, this is in the same units, and fs must also be passed to cheby2.

Examples

Design a digital bandstop filter which rejects -60 dB from 0.2*(fs/2) to 0.5*(fs/2), while staying within 3 dB below 0.1*(fs/2) or above 0.6*(fs/2). Plot its frequency response, showing the passband and stopband constraints in gray.
