        prototype filter.
    bz: Real or Double column vector, output numerator   polynomial for the digital highpass filter.

Description

This function converts an input continuous domain rational transfer function (H = b_in/a_in) to its corresponding z-domain digital transfer function. The function is intended to be used with normalized, s-domain, lowpass filter functions as can be obtained from functions such as: fnbut , fncheb1 , fncheb2 , fnbes .

The sampling interval for the new filter is "dt", making the system sampling rate fs = 1/dt. Generally, the new desired cutoff frequency is in [radians/sec], wc = 2*PI*fc, and should be strictly less than half of the sampling rate.

The complex gain for this resulting filter can be evaluated with the gainz function.

The output z-domain polynomial "bz" and "az" must be declared before calling the function, though their types do not matter.

Example

# Design BUTTERWORTH lowpass prototype filter, fc = 1 [radian/sec]
Norder  = 5;                  # Filter Order
b       = novalue;            # Declare numerator   polynomial
a       = novalue;            # Declare denominator polynomial
fnbes(Norder,b,a);            # Make analog prototype lowpass filter

# Convert filter to a digital filter
bz = novalue;                 # Declare output numerator   polynomial
az = novalue;                 # Declare output denominator polynomial
fs = 100e3;                   # Sampling Frequency [Samples/sec] = [Hz]
dt = 1d0/fs;                  # Sampling interval [Sec]
fc = 1d3;                     # New highpass cutoff frequency
wc = 2d0*PI*fc;               # Equivalent radian frequency
fn2dhp(wc, dt, b, a, bz, az); # Convert the filter

# Evaluate this filter around its cutoff.
fmin    =  1d1; # Plotting Limits
fmax    =  fs;
ymax    =  10d0;
ymin    = -100d0;
ny = round((ymax-ymin)/10d0);

N       = 201; # Plotting information         
n       = seq(N)'-1d0;
f       = logspace(log10(fmin),log10(fs/2),N)';
H       = gainz(bz,az,f,fs);
