A filter in Digital signal Processing terminology is a nothing but a component which eliminates undesired elements of the signals. For instance noise is an undesired element. Filter extracts the desired parts of the signal. An unfiltered signal is given as an input to the filter and a desired or filtered signal or noise free signal in our context comes as an output depending on the specifications of the filter.

These filter structures are classified into FIR systems and IIR systems depending upon their impulse response.

IIR FILTERS:

Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) Filters are so called, because they have an impulse response function that is non-zero over an infinite length of time. Whereas the FIR filters have fixed duration impulse responses. IIR filters are also called as Recursive filters. The present output of the IIR filters depends not only on the present input but also on the past input and past output.IIR filters can be designed as Analog or Digital filters. Analog filter can be converted into digital filter by using bilinear transformation techniques.

The figure below is the block diagram for an IIR filter

The types of the Infinite Impulse Response Filters are:

Butterworth Filters

Chebyshev type -I Filters

Chebyshev type – II Filters

Elliptic or Cauer Filters

Bessel Filters.

As far as our project is concerned, we are dealing with the implementation of Chebyshev type 1 and type 2 filters in low pass and band pass.

CHEBYSHEV FILTERS:

Chebyshev filters can be designed as analog or digital filters and is an improvement on Butterworth filters. These filters have steeper roll off and more pass band and stop band ripple in type 1 and type 2 respectively. These filters reduce the error between the idealized and the actual filter characteristics at a cost of ripple in the pass band. The Chebyshev filter’s most desirable character is its speed. The circuit architecture of these filters is simplified when used in designs.

Type 1 Chebyshev filters:

These filters have Equiripple magnitude response in pass band and Monotonically decreasing magnitude in the stop band. The sharp transition between the pass band and stop band of type1 filter produces smaller absolute errors and faster execution speeds than butterworth filter. The ripples in the pass band have a constant magnitude Rp which is considered as an important design aspect of the filter.

from the figure ripples in pass band and sharper roll off in the stop band can be observed

Figure: Frequency response of type 1 Low pass Chebyshev filter

Type 2 Chebyshev Filters:

These filters are also called as Inverse Chebyshev filters. These filters have Equiripple magnitude response in stop band and Monotonically decreasing magnitude response in the pass band. These filters minimize peak error in the stop band instead of the pass band which is an advantage over Chebyshev type 1 filter. The ripples in the pass band have a constant magnitude Rs which is considered as an important design aspect of the filter.

from the figure ripples in stop band and sharper transition from pass band to stop band can be observed

Interpreting the MATLAB code:

Keywords used:

1. Cheb1ord: This keyword is used to find the order of the filter and cut off frequency.

Syntax: [n,Wn] = cheb1ord (Wp, Ws, Rp, Rs)

2. Cheby1: This keyword is used to find numerator and denominator coefficient vectors.

Syntax: [b,a] = cheby1(n,Wn,Rp)

3. Freqz: This keyword calculates the frequency response of the filter.

Syntax: h=freqz (b, a, w)

Where

n = order of the filter

Wn= cutoff frequency

Wp= pass band frequency

Ws= stop band frequency

Rp= pass band attenuation

Rs= stop band attenuation

[b,a] =numerator and denominator coefficient vectors

Filter Design:

In this Project the Type 1 and type 2 Chebyshev filters are designed using the following specifications:

Pass band Attenuation – rp

Stop band Attenuation – rs

Pass band Frequency – Wp

Stop band Frequency – Ws.

By using these specifications the Order of the filter is determined and the plots of Gain, Phase against Normalized frequency are shown

Chebyshev type – I and II(Low Pass),

Chebyshev Type- I and II(Band Pass), filters are being designed.

We designed and implemented the Chebyshev filters with added noise in the input and observed the frequency responses of the type 1 and type 2 Chebyshev filters for both band pass and low pass in MATLAB. We observed that for type 1 Chebyshev low pass filter, there is a ripple in the pass band. For type 2 Chebyshev low pass filter, there is a ripple in the stop band. for type 1 Chebyshev band pass filter, there is a ripple in the pass band. For type 2 Chebyshev band pass filter, there is a ripple in the stop band. The common characteristic observed in all the Chebyshev filters is the steeper roll of in stop band.
