Syntax

B = designHighpassFIR
B = designHighpassFIR(Name=Value)

Description

example

B = designHighpassFIR designs a highpass FIR filter with the filter order of 100, cutoff frequency of 0.25, and a Hamming window. B is a vector of filter coefficients of length 101.

The System object™ argument is false by default. To implement the filter, assign the filter coefficients in B to a dsp.FIRFilter object.

example

B = designHighpassFIR(Name=Value) specifies options using one or more name-value arguments.

For example, B = designHighpassFIR(FilterOrder=30,CutoffFrequency=0.5,Window="hann",SystemObject=true) designs a highpass FIR filter with the filter order of 30, cutoff frequency of 0.5, and a Hann window. As the SystemObject argument is true, the function designs and implements the highpass FIR filter. B is a dsp.FIRFilter System object in this case.

When you specify only a partial list of filter parameters, the function designs the filter by setting the other design parameters to their default values.

Create a dsp.FIRFilter object, and set the NumeratorSource property to 'Input port' so that you can vary the coefficients of the FIR filter through the input port during simulation.

firFilt = dsp.FIRFilter(NumeratorSource="Input port")
firFilt = 
  dsp.FIRFilter with properties:

            Structure: 'Direct form'
      NumeratorSource: 'Input port'
    InitialConditions: 0

Create a spectrumAnalyzer object to visualize the spectra of the input and output signals.

spectrumScope = spectrumAnalyzer(SampleRate=44100,PlotAsTwoSidedSpectrum=false,...
    ChannelNames=["Input Signal","Filtered Signal"]);

Create a dsp.DynamicFilterVisualizer object to visualize the magnitude response of the varying filter.

filterViz = dsp.DynamicFilterVisualizer(NormalizedFrequency=true);

Stream in random data and filter the signal using the dsp.FIRFilter object. Use the designHighpassFIR function to design the filter coefficients. By default, this function returns a vector of FIR filter coefficients. Assign these coefficients to the dsp.FIRFilter object.

Vary the cutoff frequency of the filter during simulation. The designHighpassFIR function redesigns the coefficients based on the updated filter specifications. Pass these updated coefficients to the FIR filter. Visualize the spectra of the input and filtered signals using the spectrum analyzer.

Fcut = 0.5;
for idx = 1:500
    num = designHighpassFIR(FilterOrder=30,CutoffFrequency=Fcut,Window="hann");
    x = randn(1024,1);
    y = firFilt(x,num);
    spectrumScope(x,y);
    filterViz(num);
    Fcut = Fcut + 0.0001;
end

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Example: designHighpassFIR(FilterOrder=30,CutoffFrequency=0.3)

Order of the highpass FIR filter, N, specified as an even nonnegative integer.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64

Cutoff frequency of the highpass FIR filter, Fcut, specified as a normalized scalar in the range (0,1].

Data Types: single | double

Window design method, specified as one of these options:

  • "hamming"

  • "hann"

  • "blackman"

  • "blackman-harris"

  • "chebyshev" –– The default sidelobe attenuation is 60 dB.

  • "kaiser"

  • "custom" –– Specify the custom window vector in the CustomWindow argument.

Data Types: char | string

Custom window vector, specified as a vector of length FilterOrder + 1.

Data Types: single | double

Option to create System object, specified as one of these:

  • false –– The function returns a vector of FIR filter coefficients.

    Use this argument to view all the values used by the function to design and implement the filter.

Data Types: logical

Output Arguments
