IIR Digital Filter Functions
============================
An IIR filter is also known as a recursive digital filter because its output
is a function of previous outputs as well as the input. If x[n] represents the
nth input to the filter and y[n] is the nth output of the filter then a
general iir filter is implemented as follows:
y[n] = c0*x[n] + c1*x[n-1] + ... + cM*x[n-M] - ( d1*y[n-1] + d2*y[n-2] + ... + dN*y[n-N])
This means that the nth output is a linear function of the nth input, the
previous M inputs, and the previous N outputs. The c and d coefficients are
calculated to give the filter a specific frequency response. The number of
coefficients, M and N, will vary depending on the type of filter. There are
many different kinds of iir filters and many different ways to calculate the
coefficients. Listed below are filter types (currently only Butterworth
filters) and the functions that can be used to calculate the c and d
coefficients for lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and bandstop implementations of
the filter.
I. Butterworth Filters
-------------------
A Butterworth filter is also known as a maximally flat filter because its
frequency response is characterized by no ripple in the pass band and stop
band.
A. Lowpass functions
The example program that shows how to use all the lowpass functions is
bwlp.
double *dcof_bwlp( int N, double fcf );
This fuction calculates the d coefficients for a Butterworth lowpass
filter. The coefficients are returned as an array of doubles.
Parameters:
N = filter order. Range = [1, 20 or more] no fixed upper limit.
fcf = filter cutoff frequency as a fraction of pi. Range = [0,1].
Return value:
A pointer to an array of doubles is returned. The size of the
array is equal to N+1, one more than the filter order. The first
element of the array is d0, the coefficient of y[n], which will
always be equal to 1. The second element of the array is d1, the
coefficient of y[n-1], and so on. The calling program must free
the array when finished with it.
int *ccof_bwlp( int n );
This fuction calculates the c coefficients for a Butterworth lowpass
filter. The coefficients are returned as an array of integers.
Parameters:
N = filter order. Range = [1, 20 or more] no fixed upper limit.
Return value:
A pointer to an array of integers is returned. The size of the
array is equal to N+1, one more than the filter order. The first
element of the array is c0, the coefficient of x[n], which is the
current input to the filter. The second element of the array is
c1, the coefficient of x[n-1], and so on. The calling program
must free the array when finished with it.
double sf_bwlp( int n, double fcf );
This fuction calculates the scaling factor for a Butterworth lowpass
filter. The scaling factor is what the c coefficients must be
multiplied by so that the frequency response of the filter has a
maximum magnitude of 1.
Parameters:
N = filter order. Range = [1, 20 or more] no fixed upper limit.
fcf = filter cutoff frequency as a fraction of pi. Range = [0,1].
Return value:
A double that is scaling factor.
B. Highpass functions
The example program that shows how to use all the highpass functions is
bwhp.
double *dcof_bwhp( int N, double fcf );
This fuction calculates the d coefficients for a Butterworth highpass
filter. The coefficients are returned as an array of doubles.
Parameters:
N = filter order. Range = [1, 20 or more] no fixed upper limit.
fcf = filter cutoff frequency as a fraction of pi. Range = [0,1].
Return value:
A pointer to an array of doubles is returned. The size of the
array is equal to N+1, one more than the filter order. The first
element of the array is d0, the coefficient of y[n], which will
always be equal to 1. The second element of the array is d1, the
coefficient of y[n-1], and so on. The calling program must free
the array when finished with it.
int *ccof_bwhp( int n );
This fuction calculates the c coefficients for a Butterworth highpass
filter. The coefficients are returned as an array of integers.
Parameters:
N = filter order. Range = [1, 20 or more] no fixed upper limit.
Return value:
A pointer to an array of integers is returned. The size of the
array is equal to N+1, one more than the filter order. The first
element of the array is c0, the coefficient of x[n], which is the
current input to the filter. The second element of the array is
c1, the coefficient of x[n-1], and so on. The calling program
must free the array when finished with it.
double sf_bwhp( int n, double fcf );
This fuction calculates the scaling factor for a Butterworth highpass
filter. The scaling factor is what the c coefficients must be
multiplied by so that the frequency response of the filter has a
maximum magnitude of 1.
Parameters:
N = filter order. Range = [1, 20 or more] no fixed upper limit.
fcf = filter cutoff frequency as a fraction of pi. Range = [0,1].
Return value:
A double that is scaling factor.
C. Bandpass functions
The example program that shows how to use all the bandpass functions is
bwbp.
double *dcof_bwbp( int n, double f1f, double f2f );
This fuction calculates the d coefficients for a Butterworth bandpass
filter. The coefficients are returned as an array of doubles. Note
that, although there is no upper limit on the filter order, if the
bandwidth, f2f - f1f, is very small, the coefficients returned may
not give the desired response due to numerical instability in the
calculation. This problem should not occure if the filter order is
kept less that or equal to 10. For very small bandwidths you should
always verify the frequency response using a program such as rffr.
Parameters:
N = filter order. Range = [1, 20 or more] no fixed upper limit.
f1f = lower cutoff frequency as a fraction of pi. Range = [0,1].
f2f = upper cutoff frequency as a fraction of pi. Range = [0,1].
Return value:
A pointer to an array of doubles is returned. The size of the
array is equal to 2N+1, one more than twice the filter order. The
first element of the array is d0, the coefficient of y[n], which
will always be equal to 1. The second element of the array is d1,
the coefficient of y[n-1], and so on. The calling program must
free the array when finished with it.
int *ccof_bwbp( int n );
This fuction calculates the c coefficients for a Butterworth bandpass
filter. The coefficients are returned as an array of integers.
Parameters:
N = filter order. Range = [1, 20 or more] no fixed upper limit.

A pointer to an array of integers is returned. The size of the
array is equal to 2N+1, one more than twice the filter order. The
first element of the array is c0, the coefficient of x[n], which
is the current input to the filter. The second element of the
array is c1, the coefficient of x[n-1], and so on. The calling
program must free the array when finished with it. Note that ck
for all odd k, c1, c3, c5, and so on, will be equal to zero for
this filter.
double sf_bwbp( int n, double f1f, double f2f );

filter. The coefficients are returned as an array of doubles. Note

array is equal to 2N+1, one more than twice the filter order. The
first element of the array is d0, the coefficient of y[n], which
will always be equal to 1. The second element of the array is d1,
the coefficient of y[n-1], and so on. The calling program must
free the array when finished with it.
