Freqz function- plssssss help
Started by ●December 31, 2005
I am using notch filter, below are the commands for calculating
filter coeff:
f0 = 0.4 % freq to be notched
b = [1 -2*cos(2*pi*f0)
1];
% compute the filter numerator coeff "b"
r =0.995;
a = [1 -2*r*cos(2*pi*f0)
r^2];
% compute the filter denominator coeff "a"
[h,f1] =freqz(b,a,256);
figure
plot(f1/(2*pi), abs(h), 'r');
If "f0" i.e the freq to be notched is less than 0.5 then the plot
shows the notch at f0, but if its greater than 0.5 then the plot
shows some different frequency. Any one has any clue regarding this?

You're using two different conventions for
relative
frequency. The first (commonly used) convention is that the sampling
frequency
Fs = 1. Your coefficients are based on this convention, so any
notch
frequency above 0.5 will exceed the Nyquist frequency Fs/2 and hence be
aliased
to another frequency.
The second convention (used by most MATLAB
signal
processing functions such as freqz) is where frequencies are relative to
the
Nyquist frequency , so Fs = 2.
So the f1 values in your plot range from 0 to
1,
representing 0 to Fs/2, not 0 to Fs. Since the frequencies above Fs/2 are
just a
mirror reflection, they aren't returned by freqz at
all.
