scipy.signal.ellipord¶

scipy.signal.ellipord(wp, ws, gpass, gstop, analog=False)[source]¶

Elliptic (Cauer) filter order selection.

Return the order of the lowest order digital or analog elliptic filter that loses no more than gpass dB in the passband and has at least gstop dB attenuation in the stopband.

Parameters:

Parameters:	wp, ws : float Passband and stopband edge frequencies. For digital filters, these are normalized from 0 to 1, where 1 is the Nyquist frequency, pi radians/sample. (wp and ws are thus in half-cycles / sample.) For example: Lowpass: wp = 0.2, ws = 0.3 Highpass: wp = 0.3, ws = 0.2 Bandpass: wp = [0.2, 0.5], ws = [0.1, 0.6] Bandstop: wp = [0.1, 0.6], ws = [0.2, 0.5] For analog filters, wp and ws are angular frequencies (e.g. rad/s). gpass : float The maximum loss in the passband (dB). gstop : float The minimum attenuation in the stopband (dB). analog : bool, optional When True, return an analog filter, otherwise a digital filter is returned.
Returns:	ord : int The lowest order for an Elliptic (Cauer) filter that meets specs. wn : ndarray or float The Chebyshev natural frequency (the “3dB frequency”) for use with `ellip` to give filter results.

wp, ws : float

Passband and stopband edge frequencies. For digital filters, these are normalized from 0 to 1, where 1 is the Nyquist frequency, pi radians/sample. (wp and ws are thus in half-cycles / sample.) For example:

Lowpass: wp = 0.2, ws = 0.3

Highpass: wp = 0.3, ws = 0.2

Bandpass: wp = [0.2, 0.5], ws = [0.1, 0.6]

Bandstop: wp = [0.1, 0.6], ws = [0.2, 0.5]

For analog filters, wp and ws are angular frequencies (e.g. rad/s).

gpass : float

The maximum loss in the passband (dB).

gstop : float

The minimum attenuation in the stopband (dB).

analog : bool, optional

When True, return an analog filter, otherwise a digital filter is returned.

Returns:

ord : int

The lowest order for an Elliptic (Cauer) filter that meets specs.

wn : ndarray or float

The Chebyshev natural frequency (the “3dB frequency”) for use with ellip to give filter results.

Examples

Design an analog highpass filter such that the passband is within 3 dB above 30 rad/s, while rejecting -60 dB at 10 rad/s. Plot its frequency response, showing the passband and stopband constraints in gray.
