Hi, i would like to design a 10 tap IIR butterworth filter with a given cutoff. What tools are available to help me realise this in C. for example for RBJ's biquad filters there are equations on how to update your coefficients when your cutoff or sr changes. i'm looking to do something similar but on a higher order filter. thanks for any suggestions or pointers ... regards, sam

Direct polynomial implementations get very bad very quickly -- the precision required goes up exponentially with the number of poles, so even if your poles are fairly distant from z = 1.0 you still get into numeric trouble fairly quickly. It's much better to implement your filter as a cascade of 1st- and 2nd-order filters. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com

Hi Erik, did you actually try that page? All I'm getting is an "Error! Command failed (return code 256)" message no matter what kind of filter I try... :-( --smb Erik de Castro Lopo <nospam@mega-nerd.com> wrote in message news:<40CA801D.96CA499@mega-nerd.com>...> sammyd wrote: > > > > Hi, > > i would like to design a 10 tap IIR butterworth filter with a given > > cutoff.

"You specified the following parameters: filtertype = Butterworth passtype = Lowpass ripple = order = 6 samplerate = 8000 corner1 = 200" worked for me. Could it be a problem with Java on your machine?

I would use cascaded 2nd-order filters to avoid this. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com

Hi Jerry, actually, your example works on my machine as well. However, the bandpass resonator I tried does not (sr=44100, fc=1000, q=10). Maybe that applet is broken...

Have an 8 bit filter that is two stage, and say a precision of 16 bits, then a 3 stage needs 24 and 4 stage needs 32 and so on. |
