Signature
def ellip ( N , rp , rs , Wn , btype = low , analog = False , output = ba , fs = None ) Summary
Elliptic (Cauer) digital and analog filter design.
Extended Summary
Design an Nth-order digital or analog elliptic filter and return the filter coefficients.
Parameters
N: intThe order of the filter.
rp: floatThe maximum ripple allowed below unity gain in the passband. Specified in decibels, as a positive number.
rs: floatThe minimum attenuation required in the stop band. Specified in decibels, as a positive number.
Wn: array_likeA scalar or length-2 sequence giving the critical frequencies. For elliptic filters, this is the point in the transition band at which the gain first drops below -
rp.For digital filters,
Wnare in the same units asfs. By default,fsis 2 half-cycles/sample, so these are normalized from 0 to 1, where 1 is the Nyquist frequency. (Wnis thus in half-cycles / sample.)For analog filters,
Wnis an angular frequency (e.g., rad/s).btype: {'lowpass', 'highpass', 'bandpass', 'bandstop'}, optionalThe type of filter. Default is 'lowpass'.
analog: bool, optionalWhen True, return an analog filter, otherwise a digital filter is returned.
output: {'ba', 'zpk', 'sos'}, optionalType of output: numerator/denominator ('ba'), pole-zero ('zpk'), or second-order sections ('sos'). Default is 'ba' for backwards compatibility, but 'sos' should be used for general-purpose filtering.
fs: float, optionalThe sampling frequency of the digital system.
Returns
b, a: ndarray, ndarrayNumerator (b) and denominator (a) polynomials of the IIR filter. Only returned if
output='ba'.z, p, k: ndarray, ndarray, floatZeros, poles, and system gain of the IIR filter transfer function. Only returned if
output='zpk'.sos: ndarraySecond-order sections representation of the IIR filter. Only returned if
output='sos'.
Notes
Also known as Cauer or Zolotarev filters, the elliptical filter maximizes the rate of transition between the frequency response's passband and stopband, at the expense of ripple in both, and increased ringing in the step response.
As rp approaches 0, the elliptical filter becomes a Chebyshev type II filter (cheby2). As rs approaches 0, it becomes a Chebyshev type I filter (cheby1). As both approach 0, it becomes a Butterworth filter (butter).
The equiripple passband has N maxima or minima (for example, a 5th-order filter has 3 maxima and 2 minima). Consequently, the DC gain is unity for odd-order filters, or -rp dB for even-order filters.
The 'sos' output parameter was added in 0.16.0.
The current behavior is for ndarray outputs to have 64 bit precision (float64 or complex128) regardless of the dtype of Wn but outputs may respect the dtype of Wn in a future version.
Array API Standard Support
ellip has experimental support for Python Array API Standard compatible backends in addition to NumPy. Please consider testing these features by setting an environment variable SCIPY_ARRAY_API=1 and providing CuPy, PyTorch, JAX, or Dask arrays as array arguments. The following combinations of backend and device (or other capability) are supported.
==================== ==================== ==================== Library CPU GPU ==================== ==================== ==================== NumPy ✅ n/a CuPy n/a ✅ PyTorch ✅ ⛔ JAX ⚠️ no JIT ⛔ Dask ⚠️ computes graph n/a ==================== ==================== ====================

Examples
Design an analog filter and plot its frequency response, showing the critical points:from scipy import signal import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np✓
b, a = signal.ellip(4, 5, 40, 100, 'low', analog=True) w, h = signal.freqs(b, a)✓
plt.semilogx(w, 20 * np.log10(abs(h))) plt.title('Elliptic filter frequency response (rp=5, rs=40)') plt.xlabel('Frequency [rad/s]') plt.ylabel('Amplitude [dB]')✗
plt.margins(0, 0.1) plt.grid(which='both', axis='both')✓
plt.axvline(100, color='green') # cutoff frequency plt.axhline(-40, color='green') # rs plt.axhline(-5, color='green') # rp✗

t = np.linspace(0, 1, 1000, False) # 1 second sig = np.sin(2*np.pi*10*t) + np.sin(2*np.pi*20*t) fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(2, 1, sharex=True)✓
ax1.plot(t, sig) ax1.set_title('10 Hz and 20 Hz sinusoids') ax1.axis([0, 1, -2, 2])✗
