fixed point coeficcients to floating pointStarted by 3 years ago●2 replies●latest reply 3 years ago●137 views
I am trying to modify a Texas Instruments provided example to fit my needs.
Example filters like this one is provided in the code:
// Insert optional second filter here (@16 kHz). Some examples:
//1147,-1516, 522, -1699, 708, // +5dB peak filter (F0=500 Hz, BW=3 octaves)
; Each second order section is assumed to have normalized both numerator and denominator,
; i.e b0 and a0 are 1. The gain g is applied to the input. If unormalized, g can be b0/a0
; and each coefficient in the numerator must then be divided by b0 and each coefficient
; in the denominator divided by a0.
; After the last section a dummy section with gain 0 indicates the end of the IIR filter.
; All coefficients must be in the SI.FFFF_FFFF_FF format, i.e 21 sign bits, one integer bit
; and ten fractional bits. Thus the range of the coefficients are [-2, 2) and the resolution
; is 2^-10
Now I am trying to verify this by plotting the frequency response of the peaking filter in Python
g = 1147*(2**-10)
sos = np.array([1*(2**-10)*g, -1516*(2**-10)*g, 522*(2**-10)*g, 1, -1699*(2**-10), 708*(2**-10)])
w, h = signal.sosfreqz(sos)
db = 20 * np.log10(np.abs(h))
The plot does not look like a peaking filter at all. I assume my convertion from fixed to floating point is incorrect. Hints would be appreciated.
I don't know what sosfreqz does, but if it does not evaluate biquad coefficients, it would be the wrong function.
your time formula for the filter should be:
y[k] = 1147/1024*x[k] + (-1516)/1024*x[k-1] + 522/1024*x[k-2] - (-1699)/1024*y[k-1] - 708/1024*y[k-2]
My mistake. b0=1 is after convertion to float. b0 was a factor of 1024 to large.
