CHEBY1

Purpose:

Designs a digital IIR Chebyshev Type I  filter.

Syntax:

Returns:

A series, the Chebyshev Type I  filter coefficients in multi-stage cascade format.

Example:

W1: cheby1(2, 1000.0, 100.0, 3.0, 40.0)

W2: 20*log10(filtmag(W1, 1024));sety(-80, 10)

W1 creates a Chebyshev I  highpass filter with a sample rate of 1000 Hz and a cutoff frequency of 100 Hz. The passband ripple is set to 3.0 dB. The stopband frequency defaults to 50 Hz. The stopband attenuation is set to 40.0 dB. W2 displays the frequency response of the resulting filter.

Example:

W1: cheby1(2, 1000.0, 100.0, 3.0, 40.0)

W2: gsin(1000, 1/1000, 3) + gsin(1000, 1/1000, 250)

W3: iirfilter(W2, W1)

Creates the same IIR highpass filter as the previous example. W2 contains a series with two sinusoids and W3 applies the filter to recover the higher frequency sinewave.

Example:

W2: cheby1(2, 1000.0, 100.0, 1.0, 50.0, 70.0)

Creates a similar filter except the passband ripple is set to 1 dB, the stopband attenuation is set to 50 dB and the stopband edge is increased to 70 Hz.

Example:

W3: cheby1(3, 8, 1000.0, 200.0, 300.0, 2.0)

Creates a Chebyshev I bandpass filter with a sample rate of 1000 Hz, a filter order of 8 and the passband extends from 200 Hz to 300 Hz. The passband ripple is set to 2.0 dB.

Example:

W4: cheby1(3, 1000.0, 200.0, 300.0, 2.0, 60.0, 150.0, 350.0)

Creates a similar Chebyshev I bandpass filter with a sample rate of 1000 Hz, a passband ripple of 2.0 dB and the passband extends from 200 Hz to 300 Hz. The first stopband edge is set to 150 Hz and the second passband edge is set to 350 Hz. The passband attenuation is set to 60 dB.

Example:

W5: cheby1(3, 1000.0, 200.0, 300.0, 2.0, 50.0, 180.0, 320.0)

Creates a similar Chebyshev I bandpass filter to above except the first stopband edge is 180 Hz and the last stopband edge is set to 320 Hz. The desired stopband attenuation is set to 50 dB.

Example:

W1: cheby1(2, 1000.0, 100.0, 3.0, 40.0, "analog")

W2: 20*log10(filtmag(W1, 1024, "analog"));semilogx;sety(-80, 10)

Same as the first example, except the result is an analog filter. The rate parameter is ignored.

Remarks:

The generic CHEBY1 filter specifications are depicted as follows:

                                              Type = 1, Lowpass

                                              Type = 2, Highpass

                                              Type = 3, Bandpass

                                              Type = 4, Bandstop

For filter type 1 and 2 (lowpass and highpass), the band frequencies pb2 and sb2 are omitted.

CHEBY1 uses the Bilinear Transform Method to compute the coefficients by converting an analog filter prototype to the digital domain. The filter order refers to the number of resulting poles (2X poles result for type 3 and type 4) and is not equivalent to the number of filter coefficients.

If "matched_z" is specified, the matched z transform is used instead of the BILINEAR transform. The matched z method maps the analog prototype filter poles and zeros to the digital domain with:

z = e ^sT   where T is the sample rate of the digital filter.

The band edges must lie between 0.0 and 0.5 * rate (the Nyquist frequency). Overlapping band edges are not permitted.

The filter coefficients are produced in multi-stage bi-quad form suitable for processing by the CASCADE function.

The cascade stages are ordered such that the poles of each stage are closer to the unit circle than the previous stage. The zeros of each stage are chosen to be closest to the poles of the same stage.

For lowpass and bandstop filters, if "unity_dc" is specified, the amplitude at 0 Hz is forced to 1.0 (i.e. 0 db). This may required the filter to have a gain greater than 1 in the passband. The "non_unity_dc" option causes the filter to have a maximum passband response of 1.0, but the 0 Hz value will not be 1.0 for even order filters.

If "analog" is specified, the filter coefficients represent an analog filter, with coefficients in cascaded second order stages of analog frequency s. In this case, the rate parameter is ignored.

The transfer function of an analog low pass Chebyshev I filter with a cut off frequency of ω_c is given by the all pole expression:

where n is the filter order. The magnitude of the transfer function at ω_c is equal to the passband ripple. The passband ripple is determined by ε such that:

The poles of the transfer function are defined by:

The gain of the filter in terms of the transfer function is:

where T_n is the Chebyshev polynomial:

A Chebyshev I filter is flat in the stopband but exhibits ripple in the passband. See CHEBY2 to design a Chebyshev Type II filter that is flat in the passband but exhibits ripple in the stopband.

The attn and ripple parameters are swapped from the CHEBY2 function.

See BANDPASS, BANDSTOP, HIGHPASS and LOWPASS to design linear phase FIR filters using the Remez Exchange method.

CHEBY1 requires the DADiSP/Filters Module.
