EquirippleFilterKernel

EquirippleFilterKernel[{{{ωL1,ωR1},{ωL2,ωR2},},{a1,a2,}},n]

creates a finite impulse response (FIR) filter kernel of length n with an equiripple amplitude response, given the specified left and right band edge frequencies {ωLi,ωRi} and amplitudes ai.

EquirippleFilterKernel[{{{ωL1,ωR1},{ωL2,ωR2},},{a1,a2,},{w1,}},n]

uses relative weights wi for each frequency band.

EquirippleFilterKernel[{"type",{{{ωL1,ωR1},},}},n]

creates a filter of the specified "type".

Details and Options

  • EquirippleFilterKernel returns a numeric list of length n of the impulse response coefficients of an FIR filter that has the minimum Chebyshev (minimax) error.
  • Possible filter specification types are:
  • "Multiband"multiple passband and stopband filter specification (default)
    "Differentiator"differentiator filter
    "Hilbert"Hilbert filter
  • Frequencies should be given in an ascending order such that 0ωL1<ωR1<ωL2<ωR2<<ωRkπ.
  • The lengths of the lists of frequency bands, amplitudes, and weights should be the same.
  • Amplitude values should be non-negative. Typically, values ai=0 specify a stopband, and values ai=1 specify a passband.
  • The kernel ker returned by EquirippleFilterKernel can be used in ListConvolve[ker,data] to apply the filter to data.
  • The following options can be given:
  • "GridDensity"8frequency domain sampling density factor
    WorkingPrecisionMachinePrecisionprecision to use in internal computations

Properties & Relations  (2)

Compare the stopband frequency response behavior of an equiripple (blue) and least-squares (red) realization of a filter:

In a half-band filter of length , coefficients at positions for positive integer values of have zero values:

In a -band filter, coefficients at positions have zero values:

Possible Issues  (4)

Neighboring bands cannot have the same amplitudes:

Edge frequencies of neighboring bands should be distinct:

Filter design using the equiripple method does not always converge:

Uneven transition bands in the Hilbert transformer will lead to an excessive ripple:
