DISPRO FEATURES

[Available as DISPRO_Features.pdf]

• Easy to use pull-down and pop-up menus speed and simplify the design process

• Entry of specifications on graphics model of desired frequency response

• User control of all tradeoffs between specifications and order / length

• Independent entry of filter order / length and specifications

• Full retention of parameter values during tradeoff analysis--no retyping

• Hardcopy output of any screen plot on Epson or HP LaserJet compatible printer

• Automatic naming of filter data files, with user override

IIR FILTERS DESIGNED VIA BILINEAR-Z TRANSFORMATION

• Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass, and Band Stop (Up to order 99)

• Butterworth

• Chebyshev I

• Chebyshev II

• Elliptic

• User-controlled ordering of biquad sections

• Scaling of biquad sections to combat overflow in fixed-point arithmetic

FIR LINEAR-PHASE FILTERS
