`scipy.signal._filter_design:freqs`

source: build-install/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/scipy/signal/_filter_design.py:177

Signature

def freqs(b, a, worN = 200, plot = None)

Summary

Compute frequency response of analog filter.

Extended Summary

Given the M-order numerator b and N-order denominator a of an analog filter, compute its frequency response

        b[0]*(jw)**M + b[1]*(jw)**(M-1) + ... + b[M]
H(w) = ----------------------------------------------
        a[0]*(jw)**N + a[1]*(jw)**(N-1) + ... + a[N]

Parameters

b : array_like: Numerator of a linear filter.
a : array_like: Denominator of a linear filter.
worN : {None, int, array_like}, optional: If None, then compute at 200 frequencies around the interesting parts of the response curve (determined by pole-zero locations). If a single integer, then compute at that many frequencies. Otherwise, compute the response at the angular frequencies (e.g., rad/s) given in worN.
plot : callable, optional: A callable that takes two arguments. If given, the return parameters w and h are passed to plot. Useful for plotting the frequency response inside freqs.

Returns

w : ndarray: The angular frequencies at which h was computed.
h : ndarray: The frequency response.

Notes

Using Matplotlib's "plot" function as the callable for plot produces unexpected results, this plots the real part of the complex transfer function, not the magnitude. Try lambda w, h: plot(w, abs(h)).

Examples

from scipy.signal import freqs, iirfilter
import numpy as np

✓

b, a = iirfilter(4, [1, 10], 1, 60, analog=True, ftype='cheby1')

✓

w, h = freqs(b, a, worN=np.logspace(-1, 2, 1000))

✓

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

✓

plt.semilogx(w, 20 * np.log10(abs(h)))
plt.xlabel('Frequency [rad/s]')
plt.ylabel('Amplitude response [dB]')

✗

Text(0, 0.5, 'Amplitude response [dB]')

plt.grid(True)
plt.show()
