Filter Design

Design and analyze FIR and IIR filters

You can design and analyze a variety of digital FIR and IIR filters using DSP System Toolbox™ functions, apps, and blocks. Some of these filters include advanced filters such as Nyquist filters, halfband filters, CIC filters, advanced equiripple filters, and quasi-linear phase IIR filters.

The design techniques compute the filter coefficients based on the filter design specifications. Certain blocks such as Tunable Bandpass IIR Filter and Tunable Bandstop IIR Filter have tunable filter specifications, so you can change the filter specifications and redesign the filter while the simulation is running.
