step

Display time-varying magnitude response

Syntax

step(dfv,filt)

step(dfv,B,A)

Description

step(dfv,filt) displays the time-varying magnitude response of the object filter, filt, in the Dynamic Filter Visualizer figure, as long as filt has a valid freqz() implementation.

step(dfv,B,A) displays the magnitude response for the digital filters with numerator and denominator polynomial coefficients stored in B1 and A1, B2 and A2, ..., and BN and AN, respectively.

Examples

Plot Time-Varying Magnitude and Phase Response of FIR Filter

Design an FIR filter with a time-varying magnitude and phase response. Plot this varying response on a dynamic filter visualizer in normalized frequency units.

Create a dsp.DynamicFilterVisualizer object. Set the PlotAsMagnitudePhase and the NormalizedFrequency properties to true.

dfv = dsp.DynamicFilterVisualizer(PlotAsMagnitudePhase=1,...
    NormalizedFrequency=true,ShowLegend=true,...
    Title='Magnitude and Phase Response',...
    FilterNames="FIR Filter")

dfv = 
  dsp.DynamicFilterVisualizer handle with properties:

               FFTLength: 2048
     NormalizedFrequency: 1
          FrequencyRange: [0 1]
                  XScale: 'Linear'
        MagnitudeDisplay: 'Magnitude (dB)'
    PlotAsMagnitudePhase: 1
                PlotType: 'Line'
             AxesScaling: 'Auto'

  Show all properties

Vary the cutoff frequency of the FIR filter k from 0.1 to 0.5 in increments of 0.001. View the varying magnitude and phase response using the dynamic filter visualizer.

for k = 0.1:0.001:0.5
    b = designLowpassFIR(FilterOrder=90,CutoffFrequency=k);
    dfv(b,1);
end

Plot Time-Varying Magnitude Response of Variable Bandwidth FIR Filter

Visualize the varying magnitude response of the variable bandwidth FIR filter using the dynamic filter visualizer.

Create a dsp.DynamicFilterVisualizer object.

dfv = dsp.DynamicFilterVisualizer(YLimits=[-160 10],...
    FilterNames="Variable Bandwidth FIR Filter")

dfv = 
  dsp.DynamicFilterVisualizer handle with properties:

               FFTLength: 2048
     NormalizedFrequency: 0
              SampleRate: 44100
          FrequencyRange: [0 22050]
                  XScale: 'Linear'
        MagnitudeDisplay: 'Magnitude (dB)'
    PlotAsMagnitudePhase: 0
                PlotType: 'Line'
             AxesScaling: 'Manual'

  Show all properties

Design a bandpass variable bandwidth FIR filter with a center frequency of 5 kHz and a bandwidth of 4 kHz.

Fs = 44100;
vbw = dsp.VariableBandwidthFIRFilter(FilterType='Bandpass',...
    FilterOrder=100,...
    SampleRate=Fs,...
    CenterFrequency=5e3,...
    Bandwidth=4e3);

Vary the center frequency of the filter. Visualize the varying magnitude response of the filter using the dsp.DynamicFilterVisualizer object.

for idx  = 1:100
    dfv(vbw);
    vbw.CenterFrequency = vbw.CenterFrequency + 20;
end
