Matlab program for fir filter using rectangular window

Its impulse response sequence h n is. This filter is not implementable since its impulse response is infinite and noncausal. To create a finite-duration impulse response, truncate it by applying a window. By retaining the central section of impulse response in this truncation, you obtain a linear phase FIR filter. The window applied here is a simple rectangular window. The following command displays the filter's frequency response in FVTool:.

Note that the y -axis shown in the figure below is in Magnitude Squared. You can set this by right-clicking on the axis label and selecting Magnitude Squared from the menu. Ringing and ripples occur in the response, especially near the band edge. Multiplication by a window in the time domain causes a convolution or smoothing in the frequency domain. Apply a length 51 Hamming window to the filter and display the result using FVTool:. Using a Hamming window greatly reduces the ringing.

This improvement is at the expense of transition width the windowed version takes longer to ramp from passband to stopband and optimality the windowed version does not minimize the integrated squared error.

For an overview of windows and their properties, see Windows. This is a lowpass, linear phase FIR filter with cutoff frequency Wn. Wn is a number between 0 and 1, where 1 corresponds to the Nyquist frequency, half the sampling frequency. Unlike other methods, here Wn corresponds to the 6 dB point. For a highpass filter, simply append 'high' to the function's parameter list. For a bandpass or bandstop filter, specify Wn as a two-element vector containing the passband edge frequencies.

Append 'stop' for the bandstop configuration. If you do not specify a window, fir1 applies a Hamming window. Kaiser Window Order Estimation. The kaiserord function estimates the filter order, cutoff frequency, and Kaiser window beta parameter needed to meet a given set of specifications.

Given a vector of frequency band edges and a corresponding vector of magnitudes, as well as maximum allowable ripple, kaiserord returns appropriate input parameters for the fir1 function. The fir2 function also designs windowed FIR filters, but with an arbitrarily shaped piecewise linear frequency response.

This is in contrast to fir1 , which only designs filters in standard lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and bandstop configurations.

The IIR counterpart of this function is yulewalk , which also designs filters based on arbitrary piecewise linear magnitude responses. The firls and firpm functions provide a more general means of specifying the ideal specified filter than the fir1 and fir2 functions. These functions design Hilbert transformers, differentiators, and other filters with odd symmetric coefficients type III and type IV linear phase.

The firls function is an extension of the fir1 and fir2 functions in that it minimizes the integral of the square of the error between the specified frequency response and the actual frequency response.

The firpm function implements the Parks-McClellan algorithm, which uses the Remez exchange algorithm and Chebyshev approximation theory to design filters with optimal fits between the specified and actual frequency responses. The filters are optimal in the sense that they minimize the maximum error between the specified frequency response and the actual frequency response; they are sometimes called minimax filters.

Filters designed in this way exhibit an equiripple behavior in their frequency response, and hence are also known as equiripple filters. The syntax for firls and firpm is the same; the only difference is their minimization schemes. Design a 48th-order FIR bandpass filter with passband 0. Visualize its magnitude and phase responses. Load chirp. The sample rate is Hz. Use a cutoff frequency of 0.

Filter the signal. Display the original and highpass-filtered signals. Use the same y -axis scale for both plots. Design a lowpass filter with the same specifications. Filter the signal and compare the result to the original. Design a 46th-order FIR filter that attenuates normalized frequencies below 0. Call it bM. Redesign bM so that it passes the bands it was attenuating and stops the other frequencies. Call the new filter bW. Use fvtool to display the frequency responses of the filters.

This will become the point at which the gain of the lowpass filter is half the passband gain or the point at which the filter reaches 6 dB of attenuation. The Kaiser window design is not an optimal design and as a result the filter order required to meet the specifications using this method is larger than it needs to be.

Equiripple designs result in the lowpass filter with the smallest possible order to meet a set of specifications. In this case, coefficients are needed by the equiripple design while are needed by the Kaiser window design.
