zpklp2bpc

Zero-pole-gain lowpass to complex bandpass frequency transformation

Syntax

[Z2,P2,K2,AllpassNum,AllpassDen] = zpklp2bpc(Z,P,K,Wo,Wt)


Description

[Z2,P2,K2,AllpassNum,AllpassDen] = zpklp2bpc(Z,P,K,Wo,Wt) returns zeros, Z₂, poles, P₂, and gain factor, K₂, of the target filter transformed from the real lowpass prototype by applying a first-order real lowpass to complex bandpass frequency transformation.

It also returns the numerator, AllpassNum, and the denominator, AllpassDen, of the allpass mapping filter. The prototype lowpass filter is given with zeros, Z, poles, P, and gain factor, K.

This transformation effectively places one feature of an original filter, located at frequency -W_o, at the required target frequency location, W_t1, and the second feature, originally at +W_o, at the new location, W_t2. It is assumed that W_t2 is greater than W_t1.

Relative positions of other features of an original filter do not change in the target filter. This means that it is possible to select two features of an original filter, F₁ and F₂, with F₁ preceding F₂. Feature F₁ will still precede F₂ after the transformation. However, the distance between F₁ and F₂ will not be the same before and after the transformation.

Choice of the feature subject to the lowpass to bandpass transformation is not restricted only to the cutoff frequency of an original lowpass filter. In general it is possible to select any feature; e.g., the stopband edge, the DC, the deep minimum in the stopband, or other ones.

Lowpass to bandpass transformation can also be used for transforming other types of filters; e.g., real notch filters or resonators can be doubled and positioned at two distinct desired frequencies at any place around the unit circle forming a pair of complex notches/resonators. This transformation can be used for designing bandpass filters for radio receivers from the high-quality prototype lowpass filter.

Examples

Design a prototype real IIR halfband filter using a standard elliptic approach:

[b, a] = ellip(3,0.1,30,0.409);
z = roots(b);
p = roots(a);
k = b(1);
[z2,p2,k2] = zpklp2bpc(z, p, k, 0.5, [0.2 0.3]);

Verify the result by comparing the prototype filter with the target filter:

filterAnalyzer(b,a,k2*poly(z2),poly(p2),FrequencyRange="centered");

Arguments

Variable	Description
Z	Zeros of the prototype lowpass filter
P	Poles of the prototype lowpass filter
K	Gain factor of the prototype lowpass filter
Wo	Frequency value to be transformed from the prototype filter. It should be normalized to be between -1 and 1, with 1 corresponding to half the sample rate.
Wt	Desired frequency locations in the transformed target filter. They should be normalized to be between 0 and 1, with 1 corresponding to half the sample rate.
Z2	Zeros of the target filter
P2	Poles of the target filter
K2	Gain factor of the target filter
AllpassNum	Numerator of the mapping filter
AllpassDen	Denominator of the mapping filter
