Iir butterworth bandpass filter

Hello everyone,
I am trying to generate bandpass butterworth filter coefficients for one of my class projects.
I am using "Butterworth CoefficientsVI" to generate the filter coefficients and using these coefficents I filter my input signal using "IIR filter VI".
I can also do this filtering using "Butterworth Filter VI". But I get different results. "Butterworth CoefficientsVI" generates IIR 4th order filter structure even when i specify order lesser than 4.
In my example attached, if i specify order above 3, the filter using "Butterworth CoefficientsVI" becomes unstable, whereas "Butterworth Filter VI" is still stable.
In my application I need to get the filter coefficients, and I cant use the "Butterworth Filter VI". So can someone tell me how to get a stable filter coefficients?

Hi Vani,
With the Butterworth Coefficients VI you will only get only 4th order cascaded sections for the bandpass filters. The Digital Filter Design Toolkit offers more flexibility in the fact that you can design your own Butterworth Filter there and it will also let you do 2nd order cascaded sections which you can use to get to higher orders. For more information on the Digital Design toolkit and cascade form IIR filtering:

Bandpass filter of cFP input signal

Hi,
I have a continuous input signal from analog compact field point. In normal, the input signal is steady, but it may oscillate sometimes. I would like to detect the oscillation frequency (0.5HZ~2HZ), that means I have to build a bandpass filter to keep the signal in 0.5 to 2 hz. Is anyone have better idea to implement this function? Thsnks for help.
Fred

Fred,
Here is a small example on Point by Point filtering. The point by point VIs allow you to perform filtering and other DSP operations one sample at a time. The example uses a butterworth filter that will give you the flattest amplitud response.
Please take a look at the example and let me know if you have any questions.

What's the error in the attached bandpass filter??

I have attached a bandpass filter I have constructed and simulated. The frequency range of the band pass filter is 704 Hz to 2040 Hz. But the problem is even when I put 60Hz I am still getting the same input wave at the out. So, what's wrong with the circuit. If theres an error can someone please correct it for me. (Please explain in a simple and easy way to understand, cuz I am a newbie).
Thanks.

R1 and R2 are not connected to R3 and C2?
For future reference, attach the circuit file rather then a picture. The picture may show things being correct but there may be a simulation setting that is incorrect (which you will not see in the picture).

Bandpass filter amplifies only noise at high frequencies and saturates the opamp output

I have designed a fourth order bandpass filter using the opamps TL081C. It is designed to operate at a center frequency of 40 kHz with a bandwidth of 2 kHz and a gain of -12.5 . I am using an SCB-68 board for data transmission and reception, one channel each for transmitter and receiver. I have grounded the adjacent channels to both the transmitter and the receiver in order to avoid crosstalk. However, at the output, I get a signal which looks like an amplitude modulated signal and is, most probably, noise. The amplitude of this signal is always around 9V, no matter what is the amplitude of the input (even if the input is 0V, the result is the same). If I scale down the whole BPF to operate at a center frequency of around 20 kHz, everything works fine. Therefore, I think the problem lies not in the design of the BPF but the use of the board at higher frequencies. Please reply as soon as possible.

You have done something wrong. You should read the manual for both the SCB-68 and your DAQ card once more. In such cases I often use MAX, and a battery as source. Then a DAQ input is not connected (floating) you will see measurements like you are doing now. Some high level voltage often modulated with mains frequency.

Design digital bandpass filter

hi, i need to design bandpass filter to pass for example from 1 t0 40 hz and then detect band inside that one from 4 to 15 hz to give alarm

@sfhj
Good questions draw good answers, and your hijacking of a thread from 2003 has caused some confuse. You are welcome to ask any question, and start any thread you want. But normal forum etiquette rules will apply. Like do not cross-post the same topic, stay in one thread.

How to apply 1/3 octave bandpass filter of about 10Khz on a signal

I am unable to retrieve the time signal after doing the 1/3 octave analysis.

Can you post a simple example program?

O/p of butterworth filter and o/p of butterworthcoeff- cascade coeff- IIR filter is different?

Hello All,
I am designing a system wherein i need to make use of a IIR butterworth Low pass filter .
I tried implementing the same in Labview using 2 methods:
1st method:
Selected Signal processing-->Filters-->ButterworthFilter.vi
Got the o/p.... attached image 1--> Waveform
2nd method:
Selected Signal processing-->Filters--> Advanced IIR filter-->ButterworthCoefficients.vi-->CascadetoDirectCoefficients.vi -->IIRfilter.vi
Got the o/p...attached image 1--> Waveform Cascade Coefii
Both the o/ps differ from in each other if you apply for order 5, LPF, cut off: 35...samples : 250000....
Could you please let me know what difference is there in selecting either of the filter designing way.....
Please reply back asap as im stuck here and am confused....also im new to signal processing....so not sure abt the error im making...
Thanks in advance...

Afternoon PSADSP,
I would dare to say it is possibly your implementation of these VI's that is giving you a difference in your results. The "Butterworth Filter.VI" uses the "Butterworth Coefficients.VI" and the "IIR Cascade Filter.VI" as sub vi's to do its thing.
Have another look at there VI's and post back if you still having issues.

Passband IIR filter does not have correct cutoff

I am trying to implement a bandpass filter using the digital IIR filter vi. The input comes from a signal generator and the output is displayed as a waveform on the screen of my PC. When I test it out by varying the frequency of my input, the cutoff is always not where I programmed. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Is there some limitations of the software filter which could explain this phenomenon?
Thanks

What is the amplitude of the desired signal (the 1 kHz signal)? Can it change frequency? If so, how much?
The amplitude of the desired signal is around 0.5V.The frequency can change by around 20Hz.
What is the nature of the undesired signal(s)? Single tone interference? Multiple interfering tones? Broad band noise?
The noise is broadband noise from electronics circuit.
What are the amplitude(s) and frequency(ies) of the interferring signal(s)?
I am not aware of the amplitude of the interfering signal but the frequency would be broadband.
How much attenuation of the desired signal is
acceptable? Can you amplify it after the filter? Is the phase of the
signal important? If so, how much phase shift can be tolerated?
The attenuation of the signal is not so crucial as it can be amplified but the phase is important. As the filter signal will eventually be used to drive an external circuit, any phase shift would reduce the accuracy. My computer is acting as the feedback since I am not using any hardware, my pc is actually filter the input signal and feeding it back to the system. So any delay or phase shift would not be undesireable.
How much of the interfering signal can the system
tolerate after the filter? Or, How large must the output signal to
interference or noise ratio be?
My estimate is that the interfering signal be -10dB below the desired signal.

Design of direct form IIR Filter

while designing IIR filters(dirtect form coeff) using advanced IIR filtering VIs, i hv found that for a given filter spec,the coeff generated by LV and matlab are different in some cases specially higher order filters. The direct coeff. of a 6th order butterworth bandstop filter, fL=65 Hz and fH= 222Hz, when used in matlab showed a considerably different respose than LV, and the step response when evaluated in matlab turned out to be unstable. can someone explain the discrepancy. Thanks.

It sounds like they are just using different algorithms. I would suggest e-mailing into the NI support, with the Matlab script and the LabVIEW VI you are using. They may be able to find out where or how the two algorithms differ.

Suggestions to improve the filter output of the acquired pulse signal

Hello,
I am working with acquiring the pulse signals form DAQ using a sample rate of 1k and number of samples as 1k for every 1sec signal using the DAQ.
I am using the smoothing type filter with Moving average->Rectangular->Halfwidth=3 and passing the smoothed signal to the butterworth filter with my requirements of 2.3hz and 0.7 with sample rate of 1000.
Problem:The filtered signal is always starting form 0 instead to start with the first value in the acquired pulse signal.For example, starting from 0 instead to start from around 0.057 as shown in the images.
How to make the filtered signal to start from the original pulse signal value.
Thanks in Advance.

All filters have a transient response. A bandpass filter with a DC component at the input will have that transient strongly excited.
Some of the filter VIs have an Init? input. If the signal is continuous but is being filtered in segments, that input can help by retaining the previous state of the filter. The first transient will still be there, but later ones should be erduced or eliminated.
In the example VI attached you will find that there is a transient at the beginning of each segment. This is due to the sine signal not having an integer number of cycles.
The IIR Cascade Filter with I.C.vi and IIR Filter with I.C.vi in the Signal Processing >> Filters >> Advanced IIR Filtering palette have an initial state input.That might be helpful but calculating an appropriate set of initial conditions from the signal data may not be straightforward.
What do you want the output to look like? What are you doing with the filtered data? Perhaps there is a better approach than a filter.

Is it possible to use Zero phase filter for continuous filtering?

I have to filter a large amount of data without any phase shift from original signal. The Zero phase filter does it but it has to be used in single shot mode. It doesn't have any "Init/Cont" input terminal which other filters have. Is there any way to implement zero phase filtering to filter data continuously?

AJ_CS wrote:
The zero phase filtering method seen in your thread will work, if the filtering happens as a single shot operation. It will remove the edge effects of zero phase filtering.
But for an application wherein data arrives as small blocks, it has to filter each block of the data and also it has to maintain the continuity of filtering.
For example in every 1 sec, I'm getting 500 samples of data. I have to use this zero phase filtering for each block of 500 samples, in each second. But what seems to happen is, between the end of one data block and beginning of next data block( between 500th sample and 501th sample or between the end of 1st sec data and beginning of 2nd sec data), there is a discontinuity, or distortion.
Normal IIR (butterworth)filter maintains this continuity between data blocks, but with phase shift.
Zero phase filtering doesn't introduce any phase shift but it is unable to maintain the continuity, it seems.
Is it possible to have a filter meeting both these requirements?
In a nut-shell yes.
It will require you apply the technique I illustrated in that thread repeatedly each time you get an update. The "reflection about the end points" cleans up the disconinuities. I suspect there may be some theory that what you end up with can not be proven using any formal math approach, but it closely mimics what the human mind does when we ask ourselves "If it continues like that that, what do I expect?".

Audio pops/drop-outs with AU bandpass

Even after I render and do a audio mixdown, I occassionally get audio pops or drop-outs (one channel or completely) of audio files to which I've applied the AU bandpass filter. Is there a way to solve this?

Make shure you sample rates and buffer sizes match. Check AMS or Sound in pref.> after application launch, sometimes it will flip automatically. Master then Slave i think > you might need more usb power

Filter out waviness

Hey there,
First of all I’m using LV 8.6.1 so anyone who is willing to help please post modified code for that version. Thanks for that.
Attached you’ll find a VI mend to filter waviness from roughness using a Gaussian filter as mentioned in industry standards.
I’m using a low cut off of 0.8mm and high cut off of 0.025mm, according to the same standards.
My profile has a very pronounced waviness with a pitch of about 1.33mm.
Looking at the filtered data, I’m wondering why the 1.33mm long wave isn’t attenuate more with a low cut off of 0.8mm. What am I doing wrong here?
Another question I have is the “window parameter” of the filter vi.
According to the help this is the standard deviation using a Gaussian window. But the standard deviation of what; my data?
Thanks for any help and or clarification.

Thanks for your efforts on this Michael!
Attached you can find a picture with the transmission characteristic of the filter needed according to ASME & ISO standards.
Does this cover your "which means how many dB of attenuation in the stopband" mention?
The Excel file also shows that I need different setting for StDev & Taps to match the expected transmission characteristic of the filter.
I mean, StDev and Taps are almost ok for a lowpass & highpass filter with a cut off set to 0.8mm but those settings are completely wrong for a highpass filter with a cut off set to 0.25mm.
Does that mean that for each cut off value I need different settings for StDev & taps?
That also means that I can't use bandpass filter right ?!?
Anyone ever tried to filter roughness data according to ASME & ISO standards?
What filter did you use????

Band pass filter - butterworth.vi

I want to use a band-pass filter with a high cut off freq of 0.01 Hz and low cut off freq of 1 Hz. My sampling rate is 20 Hz.
Why does this not work?
It works if I switch the cutt of freq values, but I need it to work this way.
I use other applications that do this perfectly, I feel like I am missing something...
Thanks!!!!

It works just fine. If you want all the data suppressed to ~1E-18, that is.
The detailed help file for the Buterworth Filter VI states:
"The values for high cutoff freq: fh and low cutoff freq: fl must observe the following relationship:
0 < f1 < f2 < 0.5fs
where f1 is low cutoff freq: fl, f2 is high cutoff freq: fh, and fs is sampling freq: fs."
I suspect your problem is terminology. You want the high pass part of the filter to cut off at 0.01 Hz, meaning that it will pass everything above that frequency. But that is what LabVIEW calls the low cutoff frequency for a bandpass filter.
