   a_in: Column Vector, Input , specifying the denominator polynomial for the normalized filter.
      b: Column Vector, Output, returning  the numerator   polynomial for the highpass filter.

Description

This function takes the numerator and denominator polynomials of a lowpass normalized continuous transfer function (Hin = b_in/a_in), converting and frequency translates them to the desired radian cutoff frequency [rad/sec] "wc" (Hout = b/a) of a new highpass filter. Sources of normalized filter transfer functions can be obtained from functions such as fn2chp , fn2cbp , fn2cbs , or, any similar user defined function.

The input and output polynomials are ascending polynomials in s = jw expressed as a column vector of length n as:

          b => b(1) + n(2) * s + .. + b(n) * s^(n-1); similarly for a.

 The output polynomials b and a must be declared before the function is called, though their types do not matter. They can be declared as type "b = novalue", "a = novalue", for instance.

Example

# Design CHEBYSHEV Type 1 lowpass prototype filter, fc = 1 [radian/sec]
Norder  = 5;                 # Filter Order
Ap      = 1d0;               # Passband Ripple
b_in    = novalue;           # Declare numerator   polynomial
a_in    = novalue;           # Declare denominator polynomial
fncheb1(Norder, Ap, b_in, a_in);   # Make prototype filter

# Convert filter to a new highpass cutoff frequency
b  = novalue;                 # Declare output numerator   polynomial
a  = novalue;                 # Declare output denominator polynomial
fc = 1000d0;                  # New lowpass cutoff frequency
wc = 2d0*PI*fc;               # Equivalent radian frequency
fn2chp(wc, b_in, a_in, b, a); # Convert the filter

# Evaluate this filter around its cutoff.
fmin    =  1d2; # Plotting Limits
fmax    =  1d4;
ymax    =  10d0;
ymin    = -60d0;

N       = 201; # Plotting information         
n       = seq(N)'-1d0;
f       = logspace(log10(fmin),log10(fmax),N)';
H       = gains(b,a,f);
HdB     = db20(H);

 A plot of the resulting filter appears as:
