tf

Converts rffilter to transfer function

Since R2019b

Description

example

[numerator,denominator] = tf(filter) returns numerators of S-parameters, Sij contained in num(i,j) and the denominator of the filter object. This method only works for the 'Transfer function' implementation of rffilter object.

Examples

collapse all

Generate the transfer function of a low-pass fourth-order Butterworth filter for cut-off frequency of 1 rad/sec.

Create the rffilter object.

filtobj = rffilter('FilterType',"Butterworth",'ResponseType','Lowpass', ...
    'FilterOrder',4,'Implementation',"Transfer function",               ...
    "PassbandFrequency",1/(2*pi),"Zin",50,"Zout",50);

Use tf function to generate the transfer function.

[numerator,denominator] = tf(filtobj);

The numerator of the transfer function for S21 is:

numerator{2,1}
ans = 1×5

     0     0     0     0     1

The denominator of the transfer function for S21 is:

denominator
denominator = 1×5

    1.0000    2.6131    3.4142    2.6131    1.0000

The corresponding polynomials in factored form is:

filtobj.DesignData.Numerator21
ans = 2×3

     0     0     1
     0     0     1

filtobj.DesignData.Denominator
ans = 2×3

    1.0000    0.7654    1.0000
    1.0000    1.8478    1.0000

Input Arguments

collapse all

RF filter, specified as an rffilter object.

Output Arguments

collapse all

Numerators of S-parameters, returned as a cell array of Sij contained in num{i,j}.

Denominator of coefficients, returned as a row vector.
