filter

filters a data sequence using a digital filter

Calling Sequence

[y,zf] = filter(B, A, x [,zi])

Arguments

B

real vector : the coefficients of the filter numerator in decreasing power order, or a polynomial.

A

real vector : the coefficients of the filter denominator in decreasing power order, or a polynomial.

x

real row vector : the input signal

zi

real row vector of length max(length(a),length(b))-1: the initial condition relative to a "direct form II transposed" state space representation. The default value is a vector filled with zeros.

y

real row vector : the filtered signal.

zf

real row vector : the final state. It can be used to filter a next batch of the input signal.

Description

This function filters a data sequence using a digital filter using a "direct form II transposed" implementation.

The filter canonical form is :

The algorithm uses the highest degree between degree(a) and degree(b) as value for n.

If the polynomial form is used for B (resp. for A) then a polynomial or a scalar must be used for A (resp. B).

Examples

x = [1 zeros(1,9)]
h = [0 0 1];
res = filter(h, 1, x) //This creates a delay of 2 elements

z = poly(0, "z");
B = 1;
A = z^2;
// B/A is z^(-2)
// the resulting filter is also a delay of 2 elements
res = filter(B, A, x)

//Integrator filter
x = ones(1,10)
B = 1;
A = [1 -1];
res = filter(B, A, x)
