function

scipy.signal._filter_design:buttord

source: /scipy/signal/_filter_design.py :4204

Signature

def   buttord ( wp ws gpass gstop analog = False fs = None )

Summary

Butterworth filter order selection.

Extended Summary

Return the order of the lowest order digital or analog Butterworth filter that loses no more than gpass dB in the passband and has at least gstop dB attenuation in the stopband.

Parameters

wp, ws : float or array-like

Passband and stopband edge frequencies.

For digital filters, these are in the same units as fs. By default, fs is 2 half-cycles/sample, so these are normalized from 0 to 1, where 1 is the Nyquist frequency. (wp and ws are thus in half-cycles / sample.) For example:

  • Lowpass: wp = 0.2, ws = 0.3

  • Highpass: wp = 0.3, ws = 0.2

  • Bandpass: wp = [0.2, 0.5], ws = [0.1, 0.6]

  • Bandstop: wp = [0.1, 0.6], ws = [0.2, 0.5]

For analog filters, wp and ws are angular frequencies (e.g., rad/s).

gpass : float

The maximum loss in the passband (dB).

gstop : float

The minimum attenuation in the stopband (dB).

analog : bool, optional

When True, return an analog filter, otherwise a digital filter is returned.

fs : float, optional

The sampling frequency of the digital system.

Returns

ord : int

The lowest order for a Butterworth filter which meets specs.

wn : ndarray or float

The Butterworth natural frequency (i.e. the "3dB frequency"). Should be used with butter to give filter results. If fs is specified, this is in the same units, and fs must also be passed to butter.

Notes

Array API Standard Support

buttord 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                 
====================  ====================  ====================

The torch backend on GPU does not support the case where wp and ws specify a Bandstop filter.

See dev-arrayapi for more information.

Examples

Design an analog bandpass filter with passband within 3 dB from 20 to 50 rad/s, while rejecting at least -40 dB below 14 and above 60 rad/s. Plot its frequency response, showing the passband and stopband constraints in gray.
from scipy import signal
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
N, Wn = signal.buttord([20, 50], [14, 60], 3, 40, True)
b, a = signal.butter(N, Wn, 'band', True)
w, h = signal.freqs(b, a, np.logspace(1, 2, 500))
plt.semilogx(w, 20 * np.log10(abs(h)))
plt.title('Butterworth bandpass filter fit to constraints')
plt.xlabel('Frequency [rad/s]')
plt.ylabel('Amplitude [dB]')
plt.grid(which='both', axis='both')
plt.fill([1,  14,  14,   1], [-40, -40, 99, 99], '0.9', lw=0) # stop
plt.fill([20, 20,  50,  50], [-99, -3, -3, -99], '0.9', lw=0) # pass
plt.fill([60, 60, 1e9, 1e9], [99, -40, -40, 99], '0.9', lw=0) # stop
plt.axis([10, 100, -60, 3])
plt.show()
