lowpassFilter: Lowpass filtering

In lowpassFilter: Lowpass Filtering

Lowpass filtering

Description

Creates a lowpass filter.

Usage

lowpassFilter(type = c("bessel"), param, sr = 1, len = NULL, shift = 0.5)
## S3 method for class 'lowpassFilter'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

type	a string specifying the type of the filter, currently only Bessel filters are supported
param	a list specifying the parameters of the filter depending on type. For "bessel" the entries pole and cutoff have to be specified and no other named entries are allowed. pole has to be a single integer giving the number of poles (order). cutoff has to be a single positive numeric not larger than 1 giving the normalized cutoff frequency, i.e. the cutoff frequency (in the temporal domain) of the filter divided by the sampling rate
sr	a single numeric giving the sampling rate
len	a single integer giving the filter length of the truncated and digitised filter, see Value for more details. By default (NULL) it is chosen such that the autocorrelation function is below 1e-3 at len / sr and at all lager lags (len + i) / sr, with i a positive integer
shift	a single numeric between 0 and 1 giving a shift for the digitised filter, i.e. kernel and step are obtained by evaluating the corresponding functions at (0:len + shift) / sr
x	the object
...	for generic methods only

Value

An object of class lowpassFilter, i.e. a list that contains

"type", "param", "sr", "len"

the corresponding arguments

"kernfun"

the kernel function of the filter, obtained as the Laplace transform of the corresponding transfer function

"stepfun"

the step-response of the filter, i.e. the antiderivative of the filter kernel

"acfun"

the autocorrelation function, i.e. the convolution of the filter kernel with itself

"acAntiderivative"

the antiderivative of the autocorrelation function

"truncatedKernfun"

the kernel function of the at len / sr truncated filter, i.e. kernfun truncated and rescaled such that the new kernel still integrates to 1

"truncatedStepfun"

the step-response of the at len / sr truncated filter, i.e. the antiderivative of the kernel of the truncated filter

"truncatedAcfun"

the autocorrelation function of the at len / sr truncated filter, i.e. the convolution of the kernel of the truncated filter with itself

"truncatedAcAntiderivative"

the antiderivative of the autocorrelation function of the at len / sr truncated filter

"kern"

the digitised filter kernel normalised to one, i.e. kernfun((0:len + shift) / sr) / sum(kernfun((0:len + shift) / sr))

"step"

the digitised step-response of the filter, i.e. stepfun((0:len + shift) / sr)

"acf"

the discrete autocorrelation, i.e. acfun(0:len / sr)

"jump"

the last index of the left half of the filter, i.e. min(which(ret$step >= 0.5)) - 1L, it indicates how much a jump is shifted in time by a convolution of the signal with the digitised kernel of the lowpassfilter; if all values are below 0.5, len is returned with a warning

"number"

for developers; an integer indicating the type of the filter

"list"

for developers; a list containing precomputed quantities to recreate the filter in C++

Examples

filter <- lowpassFilter(type = "bessel", param = list(pole = 4L, cutoff = 1e3 / 1e4),
                        sr = 1e4)

# filter kernel, truncated version
plot(filter$kernfun, xlim = c(0, 20 / filter$sr))
t <- seq(0, 20 / filter$sr, 0.01 / filter$sr)
# truncated version looks very similar
lines(t, filter$truncatedKernfun(t), col = "red")

# filter$len (== 11) is chosen automatically
# this ensures that filter$acf < 1e-3 for this lag and at all larger lags
plot(filter$acfun, xlim = c(0, 20 / filter$sr), ylim = c(-0.003, 0.003))
abline(h = 0.001, lty = "22")
abline(h = -0.001, lty = "22")

abline(v = (filter$len - 1L) / filter$sr, col = "grey")
abline(v = filter$len / filter$sr, col = "red")

# filter with sr == 1
filter <- lowpassFilter(type = "bessel", param = list(pole = 4L, cutoff = 1e3 / 1e4))

# filter kernel and its truncated version
plot(filter$kernfun, xlim = c(0, 20 / filter$sr))
t <- seq(0, 20 / filter$sr, 0.01 / filter$sr)
# truncated version looks very similar
lines(t, filter$truncatedKernfun(t), col = "red")
# digitised filter
points((0:filter$len + 0.5) / filter$sr, filter$kern, col = "red", pch = 16)

# without a shift
filter <- lowpassFilter(type = "bessel", param = list(pole = 4L, cutoff = 1e3 / 1e4),
                        shift = 0)
# filter$kern starts with zero
points(0:filter$len / filter$sr, filter$kern, col = "blue", pch = 16)

# much shorter filter
filter <- lowpassFilter(type = "bessel", param = list(pole = 4L, cutoff = 1e3 / 1e4),
                        len = 4L)
points((0:filter$len + 0.5) / filter$sr, filter$kern, col = "darkgreen", pch = 16)
