What does a Butterworth filter do?

The Butterworth filter is a type of signal processing filter designed to have as flat frequency response as possible (no ripples) in the pass-band and zero roll off response in the stop-band. Butterworth filters are one of the most commonly used digital filters in motion analysis and in audio circuits.

How do I create a Butterworth filter in Matlab?

To design a Butterworth filter, use the output arguments n and Wn as inputs to butter . [ n , Wn ] = buttord( Wp , Ws , Rp , Rs ,'s') finds the minimum order n and cutoff frequencies Wn for an analog Butterworth filter. Specify the frequencies Wp and Ws in radians per second.

How do you use a Butterworth filter on a signal in Matlab?

Use the Butterworth filter to lowpass-filter a noisy sine wave. t = transpose(linspace(0,pi,10000)); x = sin(t) + 0.03*randn(numel(t),1); Filter the noisy sine wave using the Butterworth filter. Plot the filtered signal.

Is Butterworth filter FIR or IIR?

The classical IIR filters, Butterworth, Chebyshev Types I and II, elliptic, and Bessel, all approximate the ideal “brick wall” filter in different ways.
