How to calculate IIR coefficient from filterDesigner

Hi i am newbie and i am using filterDesiner command to generate an IIR filter. After finishing design filter with Filter Designer window, my result is as below:

And i generated a header C code file and my result is as below:

And i do not know how to convert my result to the coefficient i need. My coefficient i need is the coefficient in the equatation:

y(n) = b0*x(n) + b1*x(n-1) ... + bM*x(n-M) - a1*y(n-1) - ... - aN*y(n-M)

I need a table of [b0 .... bM] and [a1 ... aM].

Hi Thanah,

To export the filiter coefficients, you can try the following as suggested here https://www.mathworks.com/help/signal/examples/introduction-to-filter-designer.html#FDAToolExample-8

Hope this helps.

I have tried as your link, but when i choose export coefficient, the result still is a array same as the resuld, which i posted in my question. You can see it in the below picture:

I know that i can calculate the coefficient, which i export from matlab is an other fomat of coefficient in the equatation:

y(n) = b0*x(n) + b1*x(n-1) ... + bM*x(n-M) - a1*y(n-1) - ... - aN*y(n-M)

And i can convert the result of matlab to my expected coefficient, but i do know how. I have try another software to design filter and in the result i could receive my expected fomat coefficient. If could please expain me about the coefficient result of matlab.

Hi,

You are right. For the IIR filter, the coefficients you get is in the form of SOS and G. To convert those in to filter numerator and denominator, you can try sos2tf function, which provides the required coefficients.

Hope this helps.

Hi Thanh,

If you haven't already solved this problem by now, please see attached an Arduino library I wrote, which takes the outputted 'fdacoefs.h' file and realises it into an IIR filter.

If you study the fdacoefs.h file, you will notice that the 'num' array holds the B matrix coefficients and, likewise, the 'den' array holds both the A and S matrix coefficients.

If you realise this into simulink, you will find a block model of how these values are used. If this doesn't fit your equation model, then you should be able to adapt it.
