I'm close to an answer on this topic, but there is something I'm missing. I have found the following equation in a textbook for determining the phase response of a second-order circuit: PHI(w) = Angle(K) - atan(((w/wc) - (wc/w))/(1/Q)); where wc: Filter cutoff in radians w : range from 0:pi (nyquist) Q : Quality/Damping factor But when I tried this exact code in Matlab and compared it to an Allpass filter they don't match. The Allpass code is known to be in good working order because I've used this function in other applications with no problems. So my reference code is alright. In Matlab I had to play with this just a bit to make it look close-to-right on my plot. The exact code I used was: ================================================= PHI = -pi/2 - 2*atan(((w./wc) - (wc./w))/(1/Q)); ================================================= The plots when compared look almost like there is a Q difference, but I'm using the same Q in code. In addition on the High-end of the frequency axis, the above formula takes longer to approach -360 degrees. Am I missing something from this equation? Is there a different version handy? Thanks, Jeff

I guees I've forgotten that there were two tan functions. Not looking too deply into this function, it seems I have to supply real and imaginary numbers. Do you have a clue what I should be feeding into it? Sorry for the vague comments, but I have to leave work shortly and wanted to at least get this post out. BTW, according to the circuits textbook I pulled this from, this formula is generic for all second-order circuits. It seems like it's working, but again I'm missing one element to this puzzle. I did figure out why I had to multiply the atan by 2 coincidentally... I'm using a 2nd order allpass to compare to, which has the phase response of a 4th order system!! So I multiplied by 2 to get the 4th order response. At least I think I did this part correctly. Just to prove this isn't a problem, I'm going to test the orginal equation against a 1st order allpass which should have the response of a 2nd order non-allpass filter (LPF,HPF, whatever) Jeff

So there is definately something wrong with the equation above. I'll see if I can't post a link to a picture of what I'm seeing in Matlab... Jeff
