applyFilter

Filter input with high or low pass filter.

Syntax

filtered_signal = applyFilter(signal, Fs, cutoff_f, filter_type)
filtered_signal = applyFilter(signal, Fs, cutoff_f, filter_type, ...)

Description

applyFilter filters an input signal using filter. The FIR filter coefficients are based on a Kaiser window with the specified cut-off frequency and filter type ('HighPass', 'LowPass' or 'BandPass'). Both causal and zero phase filters can be applied. An example of using applyFilter is given below.

% create a time series with a single monopolar pulse
N = 100;
dt = 1e-3;
t = 0:dt:dt * (N-1);
pulse = zeros(length(t), 1);
pulse(25) = 1;
    
% filter using applyFilter
pulse_filtered_lp = applyFilter(pulse, 1/dt, 100, 'LowPass', 'Plot', true, 'ZeroPhase', true);
pulse_filtered_hp = applyFilter(pulse, 1/dt, 100, 'HighPass', 'Plot', true);
pulse_filtered_bp = applyFilter(pulse, 1/dt, [50, 250], 'BandPass', 'Plot', true, 'ZeroPhase', true);

% plot the filtered time series
figure;
[~, scale, prefix] = scaleSI(max(t));
plot(t * scale, pulse, 'k-', ...
     t * scale, pulse_filtered_lp, 'r-', ...
     t * scale, pulse_filtered_hp, 'b-', ...
     t * scale, pulse_filtered_bp, 'g-');

Inputs

func	signal to filter
Fs	sampling frequency [Hz]
cutoff_f	filter cutoff frequency/s [Hz]
filter_type	'HighPass', 'LowPass' or 'BandPass'

Optional Inputs

Optional 'string', value pairs that may be used to modify the default computational settings.

Input	Valid Settings	Default	Description
'Plot'	(Boolean scalar)	false	Boolean controlling whether the amplitude spectrum is displayed before and after filtering.
'StopBandAtten'	(numeric scalar)	60	Attenuation in decibels in the stop band.
'TransitionWidth'	(numeric scalar)	0.1	Size of the transition based on the temporal sampling frequency.
'ZeroPhase'	(Boolean scalar)	false	Boolean controlling whether a zero phase filter is used.

Outputs
