Hi,
  I wonder how anyone can ask you to design an 
IIR filter using MATLAB when it appears that 
you're unfamiliar with MATLAB.  In any case 
start reading the "Signal Processing Toolbox" 
manual, that you can find on the Internet.
(It's a 780-page PDF file.)
Concentrate on the first half of Chapter 2.

Once you've computed your IIR filter 
output samples (variable "Sig"), you can 
decimate sequence Sig using:

  DecFactor = 3; 
  SigDec = Sig(1:DecFactor:length(Sig));

Good Luck,
[-Rick-]

"I tried to use Matlab's domyworkforme function, and it isn't in my 
edition -- what toolbox do I need to get?"

The best guidance that I can give you is this:

Owning a hammer and saw doesn't make you a carpenter.

Owning a lathe and mill doesn't make you a machinist.

Owning Matlab doesn't make you a DSP expert.

Design the IIR filter separately.  I strongly suggest that if you don't 
know how to do it by hand, you learn, and do it you do it by hand a few 
times before you start using Matlab.

Cascading an IIR filter with a decimate-by-three stage should be child's 
play, and isn't something I'd expect any Matlab function to do (until 
they come out with the domyworkforme function, in which case we'll all 
be replaced by computers).

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" gives you just what it says.

no matlab function does this. i think u will have to do it as a 2 step
process. so use butter, cheby1 or cheby2 functions and the ouptut of the
filter can be decimated by 3.

in case if u need more help contact me at bharat at arithos dot com

Hi,
I have to design a 6th order IIR BPF  that will allow a multirate filter
structure with D==3.How do i start?Is there a matlab function that does
this,I mean also incorporates the multirate structure with design of an IIR
BPF like butter().I wil greatly appreciate any guidance on this.
