DIGITAL BUTTERWORTH FILTER DESIGN

    The aim of this experiment was to design digital butterworth filter. This experiment was performed using Scilab. The input parameters were passband attenuation(Ap), stopband attenuation(As), passband frequency(Fp), stopband frequency(Fs) and sampling frequency(F).The theoretical and observed values of Ap and As were compared.
    It was observed that all the poles lie in the unit circle for high pass and low pass digital filter. Thus, the filters are stable. Greater the order of filter, greater is the accuracy in the theoretical and observed values.

  1. butterworth filter is better compared to chebyshev filter as it does not have ripple in pass band

  2. Yes it is monotonic..so an approximate vale of magnitude can be predicted for a value of frequency.

  3. Butterworth filter has as flat frequency response as possible in the passband.

  4. it is also referred as a maximally flat magnitude filter. The rate of falloff response of the filter is determined by the number of poles taken in the circuit

  5. What was the sampling frequency taken?

  6. We have to input parameters such as Ap,As,stop band and pass band frequency when we execute the scilab code

  7. Wide transition band is a disadvantage

  9. As the order increases the accuracy also increases.
