Syntax

bandstopSpecs = fdesign.bandstop
bandstopSpecs = fdesign.bandstop(spec,value1,...,valueN)
bandstopSpecs = fdesign.bandstop(___,Fs)
bandstopSpecs = fdesign.bandstop(___,magunits)

Description

The fdesign.bandstop function returns a bandstop filter design specification object that contains the specifications for a filter, such as passband frequency, stopband frequency, passband ripple, and filter order. Then, use the design function to design the filter from the filter design specifications object.

For more control options, see Filter Design Procedure. For a complete workflow, see Design a Filter in Fdesign — Process Overview.

bandstopSpecs = fdesign.bandstop constructs a bandstop filter design specifications object with the following default values:

  • First passband frequency set to 0.35.

  • First stopband frequency set to 0.45.

  • Second stopband frequency set to 0.55.

  • Second passband frequency set to 0.65.

  • First passband ripple 1 dB.

  • Stopband attenuation set to 60 dB.

  • Second passband ripple set to 1 dB.

example

bandstopSpecs = fdesign.bandstop(spec,value1,...,valueN) constructs a bandstop filter design specifications object with a particular filter order, passband frequencies, stopband frequencies, and other specification options. Indicate the options you want to specify in the expression spec. After the expression, specify a value for each option. If you do not specify values after the spec argument, the function assumes the default values.

example

bandstopSpecs = fdesign.bandstop(___,Fs) provides the sample rate of the signal to be filtered, in Hz. Fs must be specified as a scalar trailing the other numerical values provided. In this case, all frequencies in the specifications are in Hz as well.

The design specification fdesign.bandstop('Fp1,Fst1,Fst2,Fp2,Ap1,Ast,Ap2',.4,.5,.6,.7,1,80,.5) designs the same filter as fdesign.bandstop('Fp1,Fst1,Fst2,Fp2,Ap1,Ast,Ap2',1600,2000,2400,2800,1,80,0.5,8000)

bandstopSpecs = fdesign.bandstop(___,magunits) provides the units for any magnitude specification given. magunits can be one of the following: 'linear', 'dB', or 'squared'. If this argument is omitted, 'dB' is assumed. The magnitude specifications are always converted and stored in dB regardless of how they were specified. If Fs is provided, magunits must follow Fs in the input argument list.

Construct a bandstop filter to reject the discrete frequency band between 3π/8 and 5π/8 rad/sample. With a sampling frequency of 48 kHz, these values translate to a frequency range of [9 15] kHz. Apply the filter to a discrete-time signal consisting of the superposition of three discrete-time sinusoids.

The filter is designed by first creating a bandstop filter design specifications object, and then passing the object as an input to the design function.

Create Sinusoidal Signal

Create a signal that is a sum of three sinusoids with frequencies at 1 kHz, 12 kHz, and 16 kHz. Initialize Spectrum Analyzer to view the original signal and the filtered signal.

Sine1 = dsp.SineWave(Frequency=1e3,SampleRate=44.1e3,SamplesPerFrame=4000);

Filter Sinusoidal Signal

Filter the sinusoidal signal using the bandstop filter that has been designed. View the original signal and the filtered signal in the Spectrum Analyzer. The tone at 1 kHz is unaffected. The tone at 12 kHz is filtered out and attenuated, and the tone at 16 kHz is mildly attenuated because it appears in the transition band of the filter.

C

Constrained band flag. This enables you to specify passband ripple or stopband attenuation for fixed-order designs in one or two of the three bands.

In the specification 'N,Fp1,Fst1,Fst2,Fp2,C', you cannot specify constraints in both passbands and the stopband simultaneously. You can specify constraints in any one or two bands.

Graphically, the filter specifications look similar to those shown in the following figure.

Regions between specification values like Fp1 and Fst1 are transition regions where the filter response is not explicitly defined.

The design methods available for designing the filter depend on the specification expression. You can obtain these methods using the designmethods function. The table lists each specification expression supported by fdesign.bandstop and the corresponding design methods available.

To design the filter, call the design function with one of these design methods as an input. You can choose the type of filter response by passing 'FIR' or 'IIR' to the design function. For more details, see design. Enter help(bandstopSpecs,'method') at the MATLAB® command line to obtain detailed help on the design options for a given design method, 'method'.

For more details on the procedure, see Filter Design Procedure. For an example, see Design Notch Filter.
