5Analog Filter Design
Purpose Design and implement an analog filter.
Library Filtering / Filter Designs
Description The Analog Filter Design block designs and implements a Butterworth, 
Chebyshev type I, Chebyshev type II, or elliptic filter in a highpass, lowpass, 
bandpass, or bandstop configuration. 
The input must be a sample-based scalar signal.
The design and band configuration of the filter are selected from the Design 
method
 and Filter type pop-up menus in the dialog box. For each combination 
of design method and band configuration, an appropriate set of secondary 
parameters is displayed.
The table below lists the available parameters for each design/band 
combination. For lowpass and highpass band configurations, these parameters 
include the passband edge frequency Ω
p
, the stopband edge frequency Ω
s
, the 
passband ripple R
p
, and the stopband attenuation R
s
. For bandpass and 
bandstop configurations, the parameters include the lower and upper 
passband edge frequencies, Ω
p1
and Ω
p2
, the lower and upper stopband edge 
frequencies, Ω
s1
and Ω
s2
, the passband ripple R
p
, and the stopband 
Filter Design Description
Butterworth 
The magnitude response of a Butterworth filter is 
maximally flat in the passband and monotonic overall. 
Chebyshev 
type I 
The magnitude response of a Chebyshev type I filter is 
equiripple in the passband and monotonic in the 
stopband.
Chebyshev 
type II 
The magnitude response of a Chebyshev type II filter is 
monotonic in the passband and equiripple in the 
stopband.
Elliptic 
The magnitude response of an elliptic filter is 
equiripple in both the passband and the stopband.
