Butterworth Filter Design

IIR filters were designed using Scilab. The first type of IIR filter is Butterworth filter. Its response has no ripple in passband and stopband. BLT method was used to design the filter. By putting the values of required parameters As, Ap,Ws,Wp and sampling frequency, both high pass and low pass filters were designed. As BLT method is used, frequency bands are compressed in digital filters.

  2. These filters have a slow roll off and hence a wide transition band

    1. This is a disadvantage of this filter when compared to chebyshev filter

  3. Butterworth filter has monotonic magnitude response.

    1. Yes, it has no ripples while chebyshev filter has ripples depending upon its type.

  4. Butterworth filter is also called maximally flat magnitude filter
