tf2cl

Transfer function to coupled allpass lattice conversion

Syntax

[k1,k2] = tf2cl(b,a)

[k1,k2] = tf2cl(b,a)

Description

[k1,k2] = tf2cl(b,a) where b is a real, symmetric vector of numerator coefficients and a is a real vector of denominator coefficients, corresponding to a stable digital filter, will perform the coupled allpass decomposition

of a stable IIR filter H(z) and convert the allpass transfer functions H1(z) and H2(z) to a coupled lattice allpass structure with coefficients given in vectors k1 and k2.

[k1,k2] = tf2cl(b,a) where b is a real, antisymmetric vector of numerator coefficients and a is a real vector of denominator coefficients, corresponding to a stable digital filter, performs the coupled allpass decomposition

of a stable IIR filter H(z) and converts the allpass transfer functions H1(z) and H2(z) to a coupled lattice allpass structure with coefficients given in vectors k1 and k2.

In some cases, the decomposition is not possible with real H1(z) and H2(z). In those cases, a generalized coupled allpass decomposition may be possible, using the command syntax

•     [k1,k2,beta] = tf2cl(b,a)
  

to perform the generalized allpass decomposition of a stable IIR filter H(z) and convert the complex allpass transfer functions H1(z) and H2(z) to corresponding lattice allpass filters

where beta is a complex scalar of magnitude equal to 1.

Note    Coupled allpass decomposition is not always possible. Nevertheless, Butterworth, Chebyshev, and Elliptic IIR filters, among others, can be factored in this manner. For details, refer to Signal Processing Toolbox User's Guide.

Examples

• [b,a]=cheby1(9,.5,.4); 
  [k1,k2]=tf2cl(b,a); % Get the reflection coeffs. for the 
  lattices.
  [num1,den1]=latc2tf(k1,'allpass'); % Convert each allpass lattice
  [num2,den2]=latc2tf(k2,'allpass'); % back to transfer function.
  num = 0.5*conv(num1,den2)+0.5*conv(num2,den1);
  den = conv(den1,den2); % Reconstruct numerator and denonimator.
  max([max(b-num),max(a-den)]) % Compare original and reconstructed
                               % numerator and denominators.
