Exp-5 Digital Butterworth IIR Filter Design

This experiment taught me that:

  • Stability of the filter is decided by the placement of analog poles on the s-plane. If the poles lie on the left-side of the plane, filter is completely stable.
  • There are two methods to design IIR filters: Bilinear Transformation Method(BLT) and Impulse Invariant Method(IIM).
  • IIM method gives many-to-one mapping.Hence it is not suitable for HPF and BPF filter design.
  • Butterworth filter design was done using Scilab and MATLAB software.

  1. What happens if the poles are at origin?

    2. filter will become stable

  2. BLT method is more suitable for designing Butterworth filters.

  3. It's also important to note that Butterworth filters are "maximally flat", making them good candidates for approximating ideal filters well

  4. It is worth noting that IIR filters are better than FIR filters as they typically meet a given set of specifications with a much lower filter order than a corresponding FIR filter.

  5. How do we design FIR filters then?
