Member of the filter design class.

Syntax

b = firpm(n, f, a)

b = firpm(n, f, a, filter)

b = firpm(n, f, a, w)

b = firpm(n, f, a, w, filter)

[b, ripple] = firpm(n, f, a)

[b, ripple] = firpm(n, f, a, filter)

[b, ripple] = firpm(n, f, a, w)

[b, ripple] = firpm(n, f, a, w, filter)

Description

Designs a linear phase, equiripple, FIR filter using the Parks-McClellan algorithm. This function is equivalent to the remez function.

Examples

Inputs

Name	Description
n	Specifies the filter order. n is a positive integer. n must be even for filters with a non-zero gain at the Nyquist frequency. If n does not meet this condition, LabVIEW increases n by 1.
f	Specifies the frequencies. f is a real vector of increasing values in the interval [0, 1]. 0 and 1 must be in f. 1 represents the Nyquist frequency.
a	Specifies the magnitudes at the f frequencies. a is a real vector of the same size as f.
filter	Specifies the odd-symmetry filter to design. filter is a string that accepts the following values. 'differentiator' Designs a differentiator filter. 'Hilbert' Designs a Hilbert filter.
w	Specifies the weights that correspond to f and a. Each band has exactly one weight. The size of w is half the size of f. w is a vector of positive numbers.

Outputs

Name	Description
b	Returns the filter coefficients of order n. b is a real vector.
ripple	Returns the maximum ripple size of the filter. ripple is a positive number.

Examples

N = 13;
F = [0, 0.1, 0.5, 0.7, 0.8, 1];
A = [0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0];
W = [1, 10, 1];
B = firpm(N, F, A, W)
