ellipap

Create a normalized Elliptic analog lowpass prototype filter in zero-pole-gain form.

Syntax

[z,p,k] = ellipap(n, Rp, Rs)

Inputs

n: The filter order.; Type: integer; Dimension: scalar
Rp: The maximum attenuation in decibels in the passband, at 1 rad/sec.; Type: double; Dimension: scalar
Rs: The minimum attenuation in decibels in the stopband.; Type: double; Dimension: scalar

Outputs

z: The zeros of the filter.; Type: vector; The vector length will be one less than the number of poles when the filter order is odd.
p: The poles of the filter.; Type: vector
k: The gain factor.; Type: scalar

Examples

Create a fourth order Elliptic analog prototype filter, with 1 dB attenuation in the pass band and 20 dB attenuation in the stop band.

[z,p,k] = ellipap(4, 1, 20)

z = [Matrix] 4 x 1
0.00000 + 1.12431i
0.00000 + 2.03909i
0.00000 - 2.03909i
