Examples

## The R implementation of these routines can be called "matlab-style",
bf <- butter(5, 0.2)
freqz(bf$b, bf$a)
## or "R-style" as:
freqz(bf)

## make a Chebyshev type II filter:
ch <- cheby2(5, 20, 0.2) 
freqz(ch, Fs = 100)  # frequency plot for a sample rate = 100 Hz

zplane(ch) # look at the poles and zeros

## apply the filter to a signal
t <- seq(0, 1, by = 0.01)                     # 1 second sample, Fs = 100 Hz
x <- sin(2*pi*t*2.3) + 0.25*rnorm(length(t))  # 2.3 Hz sinusoid+noise
z <- filter(ch, x)  # apply filter
plot(t, x, type = "l")
lines(t, z, col = "red")

# look at the group delay as a function of frequency
grpdelay(ch, Fs = 100)

Complex unit phasor of the given angle in degrees.

Description

Complex unit phasor of the given angle in degrees.

Usage

an(degrees)

Arguments

degrees

Angle in degrees.

Details

This is a utility function to make it easier to specify phasor values as a magnitude times an angle in degrees.

Value

A complex value or array of exp(1i*degrees*pi/180).

Examples

120*an(30) + 125*an(-160)

Create an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model.

Description

Returns an ARMA model. The model could represent a filter or system model.

Usage

Arma(b, a)

## S3 method for class 'Zpg'
as.Arma(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Arma'
as.Arma(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Ma'
as.Arma(x, ...)

Arguments

b

moving average (MA) polynomial coefficients.

a

autoregressive (AR) polynomial coefficients.

x

model or filter to be converted to an ARMA representation.

...

additional arguments (ignored).

Details

The ARMA model is defined by:

a(L)y(t)=b(L)x(t)a(L)y(t) = b(L)x(t)

The ARMA model can define an analog or digital model. The AR and MA polynomial coefficients follow the Matlab/Octave convention where the coefficients are in decreasing order of the polynomial (the opposite of the definitions for filter from the stats package and polyroot from the base package). For an analog model,

H(s)=b1sm−1+b2sm−2+⋯+bma1sn−1+a2sn−2+⋯+anH(s) = \frac{b_1s^{m-1} + b_2s^{m-2} + \dots + b_m}{a_1s^{n-1} + a_2s^{n-2} + \dots + a_n}

For a z-plane digital model,

H(z)=b1+b2z−1+⋯+bmz−m+1a1+a2z−1+⋯+anz−n+1H(z) = \frac{b_1 + b_2z^{-1} + \dots + b_mz^{-m+1}}{a_1 + a_2z^{-1} + \dots + a_nz^{-n+1}}

as.Arma converts from other forms, including Zpg and Ma.

Value

A list of class Arma with the following list elements:

b

moving average (MA) polynomial coefficients

a

autoregressive (AR) polynomial coefficients

Examples

zplane(filt)

Bilinear transformation

Description

Transform a s-plane filter specification into a z-plane specification.

Usage

## Default S3 method:
bilinear(Sz, Sp, Sg, T, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Zpg'
bilinear(Sz, T, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Arma'
bilinear(Sz, T, ...)

Arguments

Sz

In the generic case, a model to be transformed. In the default case, a vector containing the zeros in a pole-zero-gain model.

Sp

a vector containing the poles in a pole-zero-gain model.

Sg

a vector containing the gain in a pole-zero-gain model.

T

the sampling frequency represented in the z plane.

...

Arguments passed to the generic function.

Details

Given a piecewise flat filter design, you can transform it from the s-plane to the z-plane while maintaining the band edges by means of the bilinear transform. This maps the left hand side of the s-plane into the interior of the unit circle. The mapping is highly non-linear, so you must design your filter with band edges in the s-plane positioned at 2/Ttan(w∗T/2)2/T tan(w*T/2) so that they will be positioned at w after the bilinear transform is complete.

The bilinear transform is:

z=1+sT/21−sT/2z = \frac{1 + sT/2}{1 - sT/2}

s=T2z−1z+1s = \frac{T}{2}\frac{z - 1}{z + 1}

Please note that a pole and a zero at the same place exactly cancel. This is significant since the bilinear transform creates numerous extra poles and zeros, most of which cancel. Those which do not cancel have a “fill-in” effect, extending the shorter of the sets to have the same number of as the longer of the sets of poles and zeros (or at least split the difference in the case of the band pass filter). There may be other opportunistic cancellations, but it will not check for them.

Also note that any pole on the unit circle or beyond will result in an unstable filter. Because of cancellation, this will only happen if the number of poles is smaller than the number of zeros. The analytic design methods all yield more poles than zeros, so this will not be a problem.

Value

For the default case or for bilinear.Zpg, an object of class “Zpg”, containing the list elements:

zero

complex vector of the zeros of the transformed model

pole

complex vector of the poles of the transformed model

gain

gain of the transformed model

For bilinear.Arma, an object of class “Arma”, containing the list elements:

b

moving average (MA) polynomial coefficients

a

autoregressive (AR) polynomial coefficients

Generate a Butterworth filter.

Description

Generate Butterworth filter polynomial coefficients.

Usage

## Default S3 method:
butter(n, W, type = c("low", "high", "stop", "pass"),
plane = c("z", "s"), ...)

## S3 method for class 'FilterOfOrder'
butter(n, ...)

Arguments

n

filter order or generic filter model
W

critical frequencies of the filter. W must be a scalar for low-pass and high-pass filters, and W must be a two-element vector c(low, high) specifying the lower and upper bands. For digital filters, W must be between 0 and 1 where 1 is the Nyquist frequency.
type

Filter type, one of "low" for a low-pass filter, "high" for a high-pass filter, "stop" for a stop-band (band-reject) filter, or "pass" for a pass-band filter.

plane

"z" for a digital filter or "s" for an analog filter.

...

additional arguments passed to butter, overriding those given by n of class FilterOfOrder.

Details

Because butter is generic, it can be extended to accept other inputs, using "buttord" to generate filter criteria for example.

Value

An Arma object with list elements:

b

moving average (MA) polynomial coefficients

a

autoregressive (AR) polynomial coefficients

Butterworth filter order and cutoff

Description

Compute butterworth filter order and cutoff for the desired response characteristics.

Usage

buttord(Wp, Ws, Rp, Rs)

Arguments

Wp, Ws

pass-band and stop-band edges. For a low-pass or high-pass filter, Wp and Ws are scalars. For a band-pass or band-rejection filter, both are vectors of length 2. For a low-pass filter, Wp < Ws. For a high-pass filter, Ws > Wp. For a band-pass (Ws[1] < Wp[1] < Wp[2] < Ws[2]) or band-reject (Wp[1] < Ws[1] < Ws[2] < Wp[2]) filter design, Wp gives the edges of the pass band, and Ws gives the edges of the stop band. Frequencies are normalized to [0,1], corresponding to the range [0, Fs/2].

Rp

allowable decibels of ripple in the pass band.

Rs

minimum attenuation in the stop band in dB.

Details

Deriving the order and cutoff is based on:

∣H(W)∣2=11+(W/Wc)2n=10−R/10|H(W)|^2 = \frac{1}{1+(W/Wc)^{2n}} = 10^{-R/10}

With some algebra, you can solve simultaneously for Wc and n given Ws, Rs and Wp, Rp. For high-pass filters, subtracting the band edges from Fs/2, performing the test, and swapping the resulting Wc back works beautifully. For bandpass- and bandstop-filters, this process significantly overdesigns. Artificially dividing n by 2 in this case helps a lot, but it still overdesigns.

Value

An object of class FilterOfOrder with the following list elements:

n

filter order

Wc

cutoff frequency

type

filter type, one of “low”, “high”, “stop”, or “pass”

This object can be passed directly to butter to compute filter coefficients.

For a band-pass (Ws[1] < Wp[1] < Wp[2] < Ws[2]) or band-reject (Wp[1] < Ws[1] < Ws[2] < Wp[2]) filter design, Wp gives the edges of the pass band, and Ws gives the edges of the stop band.

Usage

chebwin(n, at)

Arguments

n

length of the filter; number of coefficients to generate.

at

dB of attenuation in the stop-band of the corresponding Fourier transform.

Details

The window is described in frequency domain by the expression:

W(k)=Cheb(n−1,β∗cos(pi∗k/n))Cheb(n−1,β)W(k) = \frac{Cheb(n-1, \beta * cos(pi * k/n))}{Cheb(n-1, \beta)}

and Cheb(m,x)Cheb(m,x) denoting the mm-th order Chebyshev polynomial calculated at the point xx.

Note that the denominator in W(k)W(k) above is not computed, and after the inverse Fourier transform the window is scaled by making its maximum value unitary.

Value

pass-band and stop-band edges. For a low-pass or high-pass filter, Wp and Ws are scalars. For a band-pass or band-rejection filter, both are vectors of length 2. For a low-pass filter, Wp < Ws. For a high-pass filter, Ws > Wp. For a band-pass (Ws[1] < Wp[1] < Wp[2] < Ws[2]) or band-reject (Wp[1] < Ws[1] < Ws[2] < Wp[2]) filter design, Wp gives the edges of the pass band, and Ws gives the edges of the stop band. Frequencies are normalized to [0,1], corresponding to the range [0, Fs/2].

Rp

allowable decibels of ripple in the pass band.

Rs

minimum attenuation in the stop band in dB.

Value

An object of class FilterOfOrder with the following list elements:

n

filter order

Wc

cutoff frequency

type

filter type, one of "low", "high", "stop", or "pass"

Rp

dB of pass band ripple

Rs

dB of stop band ripple

This object can be passed directly to ellip to compute discrete filter coefficients.

Filters with an FIR filter using the FFT

Description

Filters with an FIR filter using the FFT.

Usage

fftfilt(b, x, n = NULL)

FftFilter(b, n)

## S3 method for class 'FftFilter'
filter(filt, x, ...)

Arguments

b

the moving-average (MA) coefficients of an FIR filter.
x

the input signal to be filtered.

n

if given, the length of the FFT window for the overlap-add method.

filt

filter to apply to the signal.
...

additional arguments (ignored).

Details

If n is not specified explicitly, we do not use the overlap-add method at all because loops are really slow. Otherwise, we only ensure that the number of points in the FFT is the smallest power of two larger than n and length(b).

Value

For fftfilt, the filtered signal, the same length as the input signal x.

For FftFilter, a filter of class FftFilter that can be used with filter.

Filter a signal

Description

Generic filtering function. The default is to filter with an ARMA filter of given coefficients. The default filtering operation follows Matlab/Octave conventions.

Usage

## Default S3 method:
filter(filt, a, x, init, init.x, init.y, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Arma'
filter(filt, x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Ma'
filter(filt, x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Zpg'
filter(filt, x, ...)

Arguments

filt

For the default case, the moving-average coefficients of an ARMA filter (normally called ‘b’). Generically, filt specifies an arbitrary filter operation.
a

the autoregressive (recursive) coefficients of an ARMA filter.

x

the input signal to be filtered.

init, init.x, init.y

init, init.x, init.y

allows to supply initial data for the filter - this allows to filter very large timeseries in pieces.
...

additional arguments (ignored).

Details

The default filter is an ARMA filter defined as:

a1yn+a2yn−1+⋯+any1=b1xn+b2xm−1+⋯+bmx1a_1y_n + a_2y_{n-1} + \dots + a_ny_1 = b_1x_n + b_2x_{m-1} + \dots + b_mx_1

The default filter calls stats:::filter, so it returns a time-series object.

Since filter is generic, it can be extended to call other filter types.

Value

The filtered signal, normally of the same length of the input signal x.

Forward and reverse filter a signal

Description

Using two passes, forward and reverse filter a signal.

Usage

## Default S3 method:
filtfilt(filt, a, x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Arma'
filtfilt(filt, x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Ma'
filtfilt(filt, x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Zpg'
filtfilt(filt, x, ...)

Arguments

filt

For the default case, the moving-average coefficients of an ARMA filter (normally called ‘b’). Generically, filt specifies an arbitrary filter operation.
a

the autoregressive (recursive) coefficients of an ARMA filter.

x

the input signal to be filtered.

...

additional arguments (ignored).

Details

This corrects for phase distortion introduced by a one-pass filter, though it does square the magnitude response in the process. That's the theory at least. In practice the phase correction is not perfect, and magnitude response is distorted, particularly in the stop band.

In this version, we zero-pad the end of the signal to give the reverse filter time to ramp up to the level at the end of the signal. Unfortunately, the degree of padding required is dependent on the nature of the filter and not just its order, so this function needs some work yet - and is in the state of the year 2000 version of the Octave code.

Since filtfilt is generic, it can be extended to call other filter types.

Value

The filtered signal, normally the same length as the input signal x.

FIR filter generation

Description

FIR filter coefficients for a filter with the given order and frequency cutoffs.

Usage

fir2(n, f, m, grid_n = 512, ramp_n = grid_n/20, window = hamming(n + 1))

Arguments

n

order of the filter (1 less than the length of the filter)

f

array of frequencies.

Parameters for an FIR filter from a Kaiser window

Description

Returns the parameters needed for fir1 to produce a filter of the desired specification from a Kaiser window.

Usage

kaiserord(f, m, dev, Fs = 2)

Arguments

f

frequency bands, given as pairs, with the first half of the first pair assumed to start at 0 and the last half of the last pair assumed to end at 1. It is important to separate the band edges, since narrow transition regions require large order filters.

m

magnitude within each band. Should be non-zero for pass band and zero for stop band. All passbands must have the same magnitude, or you will get the error that pass and stop bands must be strictly alternating.

dev

deviation within each band. Since all bands in the resulting filter have the same deviation, only the minimum deviation is used. In this version, a single scalar will work just as well.

Fs

sampling rate. Used to convert the frequency specification into the [0, 1], where 1 corresponds to the Nyquist frequency, Fs/2.

Value

An object of class FilterOfOrder with the following list elements:

n

filter order

Wc

cutoff frequency

type

filter type, one of "low", "high", "stop", "pass", "DC-0", or "DC-1"

beta

shape parameter

Change the sampling rate of a signal

Description

Resample using bandlimited interpolation.

Usage

resample(x, p, q = 1, d = 5)

Arguments

x

signal to be resampled.

p, q

p/q specifies the factor to resample by.

d

distance.

Details

Note that p and q do not need to be integers since this routine does not use a polyphase rate change algorithm, but instead uses bandlimited interpolation, wherein the continuous time signal is estimated by summing the sinc functions of the nearest neighbouring points up to distance d.

Note that resample computes all samples up to but not including time n+1. If you are increasing the sample rate, this means that it will generate samples beyond the end of the time range of the original signal. That is why xf must go all the way to 10.95 in the example below.

Nowadays, the signal version in Matlab and Octave contain more modern code for resample that has not been ported to the signal R package (yet).

Value

The resampled signal, an array of length ceiling(length(x) * p / q).

Transform filter band edges

Description

Transform band edges of a generic lowpass filter to a filter with different band edges and to other filter types (high pass, band pass, or band stop).

Usage

## Default S3 method:
sftrans(Sz, Sp, Sg, W, stop = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Arma'
sftrans(Sz, W, stop = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Zpg'
sftrans(Sz, W, stop = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

Sz

In the generic case, a model to be transformed. In the default case, a vector containing the zeros in a pole-zero-gain model.

Sp

a vector containing the poles in a pole-zero-gain model.

Sg

a vector containing the gain in a pole-zero-gain model.

W

critical frequencies of the target filter specified in radians. W must be a scalar for low-pass and high-pass filters, and W must be a two-element vector c(low, high) specifying the lower and upper bands.

stop

FALSE for a low-pass or band-pass filter, TRUE for a high-pass or band-stop filter.

...

additional arguments (ignored).

Details

Given a low pass filter represented by poles and zeros in the splane, you can convert it to a low pass, high pass, band pass or band stop by transforming each of the poles and zeros individually. The following summarizes the transformations:

Low-Pass Transform

S−>CS/FcS -> C S/Fc

Zero at x Pole at x
zero: Fcx/CF_c x/C Fcx/CF_c x/C
gain: C/FcC/F_c Fc/CF_c/C

High-Pass Transform

S−>CFc/SS -> C F_c/S

Zero at x Pole at x
zero: FcC/xF_c C/x FcC/xF_c C/x
pole: 00 00
gain: −x-x −1/x-1/x

Band-Pass Transform

S−>CS2+FhFlS(Fh−Fl)S -> C \frac{S^2+F_hF_l}{S(F_h-F_l)}

Zero at x Pole at x
zero: b±(b2−FhFl)b \pm \sqrt(b^2-F_hF_l) b±(b2−FhFl)b \pm \sqrt(b^2-F_hF_l)
pole: 00 00
gain: C/(Fh−Fl)C/(F_h-F_l) (Fh−Fl)/C(F_h-F_l)/C
b=x/C(Fh−Fl)/2b = x/C (F_h-F_l)/2 b=x/C(Fh−Fl)/2b=x/C (F_h-F_l)/2

Band-Stop Transform

S−>CS(Fh−Fl)S2+FhFlS -> C \frac{S(F_h-F_l)}{S^2+F_hF_l}

Zero at x Pole at x
zero: b±(b2−FhFl)b \pm \sqrt(b^2-F_hF_l) b±(b2−FhFl)b \pm \sqrt(b^2-F_hF_l)
pole: ±(−FhFl)\pm \sqrt(-F_hF_l) ±(−FhFl)\pm \sqrt(-F_hF_l)
gain: −x-x −1/x-1/x
b=C/x(Fh−Fl)/2b = C/x (F_h-F_l)/2 b=C/x(Fh−Fl)/2b=C/x (F_h-F_l)/2

Bilinear Transform

S−>2Tz−1z+1S -> \frac{2}{T} \frac{z-1}{z+1}

Zero at x Pole at x
zero: (2+xT)/(2−xT)(2+xT)/(2-xT) (2+xT)/(2−xT)(2+xT)/(2-xT)
pole: −1-1 −1-1
gain: (2−xT)/T(2-xT)/T (2−xT)/T(2-xT)/T

where CC is the cutoff frequency of the initial lowpass filter, FcF_c is the edge of the target low/high pass filter and [Fl,Fh][F_l,F_h] are the edges of the target band pass/stop filter. With abundant tedious algebra, you can derive the above formulae yourself by substituting the transform for SS into H(S)=S−xH(S)=S-x for a zero at xx or H(S)=1/(S−x)H(S)=1/(S-x) for a pole at xx, and converting the result into the form:

H(S)=gprod(S−Xi)/prod(S−Xj)H(S) = g \mbox{prod}(S-Xi) / \mbox{prod}(S-Xj)

Please note that a pole and a zero at the same place exactly cancel. This is significant for High Pass, Band Pass and Band Stop filters which create numerous extra poles and zeros, most of which cancel. Those which do not cancel have a ‘fill-in’ effect, extending the shorter of the sets to have the same number of as the longer of the sets of poles and zeros (or at least split the difference in the case of the band pass filter). There may be other opportunistic cancellations, but it does not check for them.

Also note that any pole on the unit circle or beyond will result in an unstable filter. Because of cancellation, this will only happen if the number of poles is smaller than the number of zeros and the filter is high pass or band pass. The analytic design methods all yield more poles than zeros, so this will not be a problem.

Value

For the default case or for sftrans.Zpg, an object of class “Zpg”, containing the list elements:

zero

complex vector of the zeros of the transformed model
pole

complex vector of the poles of the transformed model
gain

gain of the transformed model

For sftrans.Arma, an object of class “Arma”, containing the list elements:

b

moving average (MA) polynomial coefficients

a

autoregressive (AR) polynomial coefficients

Savitzky-Golay smoothing filters

Description

Computes the filter coefficients for all Savitzky-Golay smoothing filters.

Usage

sgolay(p, n, m = 0, ts = 1)

Arguments

p

filter order.

n

filter length (must be odd).

m

return the m-th derivative of the filter coefficients.
ts

time scaling factor.

Details

The early rows of the result F smooth based on future values and later rows smooth based on past values, with the middle row using half future and half past. In particular, you can use row i to estimate x[k] based on the i-1 preceding values and the n-i following values of x values as y[k] = F[i,] * x[(k-i+1):(k+n-i)].

Normally, you would apply the first (n-1)/2 rows to the first k points of the vector, the last k rows to the last k points of the vector and middle row to the remainder, but for example if you were running on a realtime system where you wanted to smooth based on the all the data collected up to the current time, with a lag of five samples, you could apply just the filter on row n-5 to your window of length n each time you added a new sample.

Value

An square matrix with dimensions length(n) that is of class 'sgolayFilter' (so it can be used with filter).

Spectrogram plot

Description

Generate a spectrogram for the signal. This chops the signal into overlapping slices, windows each slice and applies a Fourier transform to determine the frequency components at that slice.

Usage

specgram(x, n = min(256, length(x)), Fs = 2, window = hanning(n),
         overlap = ceiling(length(window)/2))

## S3 method for class 'specgram'
plot(x, col = gray(0:512 / 512), xlab="time", ylab="frequency", ...)

## S3 method for class 'specgram'
print(x, col = gray(0:512 / 512), xlab="time", ylab="frequency", ...)

Arguments

x

the vector of samples.

n

the size of the Fourier transform window.

Fs

the sample rate, Hz.

window

shape of the fourier transform window, defaults to hanning(n). The window length for a hanning window can be specified instead.

overlap

overlap with previous window, defaults to half the window length.
col

color scale used for the underlying image function.
xlab, ylab

axis labels with sensible defaults.
...

additional arguments passed to the underlying plot functions.

Details

When results of specgram are printed, a spectrogram will be plotted. As with lattice plots, automatic printing does not work inside loops and function calls, so explicit calls to print or plot are needed there.

The choice of window defines the time-frequency resolution. In speech for example, a wide window shows more harmonic detail while a narrow window averages over the harmonic detail and shows more formant structure. The shape of the window is not so critical so long as it goes gradually to zero on the ends.

Step size (which is window length minus overlap) controls the horizontal scale of the spectrogram. Decrease it to stretch, or increase it to compress. Increasing step size will reduce time resolution, but decreasing it will not improve it much beyond the limits imposed by the window size (you do gain a little bit, depending on the shape of your window, as the peak of the window slides over peaks in the signal energy). The range 1-5 msec is good for speech.

FFT length controls the vertical scale. Selecting an FFT length greater than the window length does not add any information to the spectrum, but it is a good way to interpolate between frequency points which can make for prettier spectrograms.

After you have generated the spectral slices, there are a number of decisions for displaying them. First the phase information is discarded and the energy normalized:

S = abs(S); S = S/max(S)

Then the dynamic range of the signal is chosen. Since information in speech is well above the noise floor, it makes sense to eliminate any dynamic range at the bottom end. This is done by taking the max of the magnitude and some minimum energy such as minE=-40dB. Similarly, there is not much information in the very top of the range, so clipping to a maximum energy such as maxE=-3dB makes sense:

S = max(S, 10^(minE/10)); S = min(S, 10^(maxE/10))

The frequency range of the FFT is from 0 to the Nyquist frequency of one half the sampling rate. If the signal of interest is band limited, you do not need to display the entire frequency range. In speech for example, most of the signal is below 4 kHz, so there is no reason to display up to the Nyquist frequency of 10 kHz for a 20 kHz sampling rate. In this case you will want to keep only the first 40% of the rows of the returned S and f. More generally, to display the frequency range [minF, maxF], you could use the following row index:

idx = (f >= minF & f <= maxF)

Then there is the choice of colormap. A brightness varying colormap such as copper or bone gives good shape to the ridges and valleys. A hue varying colormap such as jet or hsv gives an indication of the steepness of the slopes. The final spectrogram is displayed in log energy scale and by convention has low frequencies on the bottom of the image.

Value

For specgram list of class specgram with items:

S

complex output of the FFT, one row per slice.

f

the frequency indices corresponding to the rows of S.
t

the time indices corresponding to the columns of S.

Unwrap radian phases

Description

Unwrap radian phases by adding multiples of 2*pi as appropriate to remove jumps.

Usage

unwrap(a, tol = pi, dim = 1)

Arguments

a

vector of phase angles in radians.

tol

tolerance for removing phase jumps.

dim

dimension with which to apply the phase unwrapping.

Value

A vector with the unwrapped phase angles.

Examples

phase <- c(seq(0, 2*pi, length=500), seq(0, 2*pi, length=500))
plot(phase, type = "l", ylim = c(0, 4*pi))
lines(unwrap(phase), col = "blue")

Example wav file

Description

Example wav file audio waveshape from Octave.

Usage

data(wav)

Format

The format is: List of 3 $ sound: num [1, 1:17380] -0.000275 -0.00061 -0.000397 -0.000793 -0.000305 ... $ rate : int 22050 $ bits : int 16 - attr(*, "class")= chr "Sample"

Details

Sound samples are in Element “sound” while “rate” is the sampling rate (in Hz) and “bits” the resolution of the underlying Wave file.

Windowing functions

Description

A variety of generally Matlab/Octave compatible filter generation functions, including Bartlett, Blackman, Hamming, Hanning, and triangular.

Usage

bartlett(n) 
blackman(n) 
boxcar(n) 
flattopwin(n, sym = c('symmetric', 'periodic')) 
gausswin(n, w = 2.5) 
hamming(n) 
hanning(n) 
triang(n)

Arguments

n

length of the filter; number of coefficients to generate.

w

the reciprocal of the standard deviation for gausswin. Use larger a for a narrower window.

sym

'symmetric' for a symmetric window, 'periodic' for a periodic window.

Details

triang, unlike the bartlett window, does not go to zero at the edges of the window. For odd n, triang(n) is equal to bartlett(n+2) except for the zeros at the edges of the window.

A main use of flattopwin is for calibration, due to its negligible amplitude errors. This window has low pass-band ripple, but high bandwidth.

Value

Filter coefficients.
