rf blockset / circuit envelope / elements

description

the filter block models rf filters of three designs:

butterworth: butterworth filters have a magnitude response that is maximally flat in the passband and monotonic overall. this smoothness comes at the price of decreased roll-off steepness.
chebyshev: chebyshev type i filters have ripples of equal magnitude in the passband and monotonic in the stopband.
inverse chebyshev: chebyshev type ii filters have ripples of equal magnitude in the stopband and monotonic in the passband.
ideal: ideal filters perfectly allow frequencies in the passband and completely reject frequencies in the stopband.

to filter rf complex baseband signals in simulink, use the idealized baseband block.

parameters

main

design method — simulation type
`butterworth` (default) | `chebyshev` | `inverse chebyshev` | `ideal`

simulation type, specified as one of the following:

ideal
simulates an ideal filter of the type specified in filter type and the model specified in implementation.
butterworth
simulates a butterworth filter of the type specified in filter type and the model specified in implementation.
chebyshev
simulates a chebyshev filter of the type specified in filter type and the model specified in implementation.
inverse chebyshev
simulates a inverse chebyshev filter of the type specified in filter type and the transfer function model specified in implementation.

filter type — filter type
`lowpass` (default) | `highpass` | `bandpass` | `bandstop`

filter type, specified as one of the following:

lowpass: simulates a lowpass filter type of the design specified in design method.
highpass: simulates a highpass filter type of the design specified in design method.
bandpass: simulates a bandpass filter type of the design specified in design method.
bandstop: simulates a bandstop filter type of the design specified in design method.

implementation — implementation
`lc tee` | `lc pi` | `transfer function` | `constant per carrier` | `frequency domain`

implementation, specified as one of the following:

lc tee: model an analog filter with an lc lumped tee structure when the design method is butterworth or chebyshev.
lc pi: model an analog filter with an lc lumped pi structure when the design method is butterworth or chebyshev.
transfer function: model an analog filter using two-port s-parameters when the design method is butterworth or chebyshev.
constant per carrier: model a filter with either full transmission or full reflection set as constant throughout the entire envelope band around each carrier.the design method is specified as ideal.
frequency domain: model a filter using convolution with an impulse response. the design method is specified as ideal. the impulse response is computed independently for each carrier frequency to capture the ideal filtering response. when a transition between full transmission and full reflection of the ideal filter occurs within the envelope band around a carrier, the frequency-domain implementation captures this transition correctly up to a frequency resolution specified in impulse response duration.

by default, the implementation is constant per carrier for an ideal filter and lc tee for butterworth or chebyshev.

note

due to causality, a delay of half the impulse response duration is included for both reflected and transmitted signals. this delay will impair the filter performance when the source and load resistances differ from the values specified as filter parameters.

passband edge frequency — passband edge frequency
`1 ghz` (default) | scalar

passband edge frequency, specified as a scalar in hz, khz, mhz, or ghz.

dependencies

to enable this parameter, set design method to ideal.

implement using filter order — implement using filter order
`off` (default) | `on`

select this parameter to implement the filter order manually.

dependencies

to enable this parameter, set design method to butterworth or chebyshev.

filter order — filter order
`3` (default) | scalar

filter order, specified as a scalar. this order is the number of lumped storage elements in lowpass or highpass. in bandpass or bandstop, the number of lumped storage elements are twice the value.

note

for even order chebyshev filters, the resistance ratio $\frac{r_{load}}{r_{source}} > r_{ratio}$ for tee network implementation and $\frac{r_{load}}{r_{source}} < \frac{1}{r_{ratio}}$ for pi network implementation.

$r_{ratio} = \frac{\sqrt{1 ε^{2}} ε}{\sqrt{1 ε^{2}} - ε}$

where:

$ε = \sqrt{10^{(0.1 r_{p})} - 1}$

r_p is the passband ripple in db.

dependencies

`10*log10(2)` (default) | scalar

passband attenuation, specified as a scalar db. for bandpass filters, this value is applied equally to both edges of the passband.

dependencies

to enable this parameter, set design method to butterworth or chebyshev.

stopband frequencies — stopband frequencies for bandstop filters
