zdf_2pole

zdf_2pole — Zero-delay feedback implementation of 2 pole filter.

Description

Zero-delay feedback implementation of a 2 pole (12 dB/oct) filter. Offers low-pass (default), high-pass, and allpass output modes.

Syntax

asig zdf_2pole ain, xcf, xQ [, kmode, istor]

Initialization

istor --initial disposition of internal data space. Since filtering incorporates a feedback loop of previous output, the initial status of the storage space used is significant. A zero value will clear the space; a non-zero value will allow previous information to remain. The default value is 0.

Performance

asig -- output signal.

ain -- input signal.

xcf -- filter cutoff frequency (i-, k-, or a-rate).

xQ -- filter Q value (i-, k-, or a-rate). Range 0.5-25.0.

kmode -- filter output type. The default value is 0. The output mode may be one of the following.

  • 0 - low-pass

  • 1 - high-pass

  • 2 - band-pass

  • 3 - unity-gain band-pass

  • 4 - notch

  • 5 - allpass

  • 6 - peak
