butter: Generate a Butterworth filter.

In signal: Signal Processing

Generate a Butterworth filter.

Description

Generate Butterworth filter polynomial coefficients.

Usage

## Default S3 method:
butter(n, W, type = c("low", "high", "stop", "pass"),
plane = c("z", "s"), ...)

## S3 method for class 'FilterOfOrder'
butter(n, ...)

Arguments

n	filter order or generic filter model
W	critical frequencies of the filter. W must be a scalar for low-pass and high-pass filters, and W must be a two-element vector c(low, high) specifying the lower and upper bands. For digital filters, W must be between 0 and 1 where 1 is the Nyquist frequency.
type	Filter type, one of "low" for a low-pass filter, "high" for a high-pass filter, "stop" for a stop-band (band-reject) filter, or "pass" for a pass-band filter.
plane	"z" for a digital filter or "s" for an analog filter.
...	additional arguments passed to butter, overriding those given by n of class FilterOfOrder.

Details

Because butter is generic, it can be extended to accept other inputs, using "buttord" to generate filter criteria for example.

Value

An Arma object with list elements:

b	moving average (MA) polynomial coefficients
a	autoregressive (AR) polynomial coefficients
