Filter Design Gallery
This example shows how to design a variety of FIR and IIR digital filters with the designfilt
function in the Signal Processing Toolbox® product.
The gallery is designed for you to identify a filter response of interest, view the code, and use it in your own project. It contains examples for each of the available filter responses offered by designfilt
. Note, however, that these are only a few of the possible ways in which you can design filters for each response type. For an exhaustive list of specification sets, see the Signal Processing Toolbox documentation.
Except when noted otherwise, in this example all frequency units are in hertz, and all ripple and attenuation values are in decibels.
