isminphase

Determine whether filter is minimum phase

Syntax

flag = isminphase(b,a)
flag = isminphase(sos)
flag = isminphase(d)
flag = isminphase(...,tol)

Description

flag = isminphase(b,a) returns a logical output, flag, equal to true if the filter specified by numerator coefficients, b, and denominator coefficients, a, is a minimum phase filter.

flag = isminphase(sos) returns true if the filter specified by second order sections matrix, sos, is minimum phase. sos is a K-by-6 matrix, where the number of sections, K, must be greater than or equal to 2. Each row of sos corresponds to the coefficients of a second order (biquad) filter. The ith row of the sos matrix corresponds to [bi(1) bi(2) bi(3) ai(1) ai(2) ai(3)].

flag = isminphase(d) returns true if the digital filter, d, has minimum phase. Use designfilt to generate d based on frequency-response specifications.

flag = isminphase(...,tol) uses the tolerance, tol, to determine when two numbers are close enough to be considered equal. If not specified, tol, defaults to eps^(2/3).

Examples

collapse all

Design a sixth-order lowpass Butterworth IIR filter using second order sections. Specify a normalized 3-dB frequency of 0.15. Check if the filter has minimum phase.

[z,p,k] = butter(6,0.15);
SOS = zp2sos(z,p,k);            
min_flag = isminphase(SOS)
min_flag = logical
   1

Redesign the filter using designfilt. Check that the zeros and poles of the transfer function are on or within the unit circle.

d = designfilt('lowpassiir','DesignMethod','butter','FilterOrder',6, ...
               'HalfPowerFrequency',0.25);
d_flag = isminphase(d)
d_flag = logical
   1

zplane(d)

Given a filter defined with a set of single-precision numerator and denominator coefficients, check if it has minimum phase for different tolerance values.

b = single([1 1.00001]);  
a = single([1 0.45]);               
min_flag1 = isminphase(b,a)        
min_flag1 = logical
   0

min_flag2 = isminphase(b,a,1e-3)
min_flag2 = logical
