Summary: Briefly describes Elliptic filters.

Note: Your browser may not currently support MathML. See our browser support page for additional details. You can always view the correct math in the PDF version.

Compared with the other filters, Butterworth and Chebyshev, Elliptic filters have the most rapid transition (narrow transition band). However, this does not come without a price. Elliptic filters have rippling in both the passband and stopband. This is the result of a pole-zero configuration that consists of both poles and zeros.

Figure 1: The magnitude plot of the transfer function of an Elliptic filter demonstrates the equal ripple in both the passband and stopband. It also displays the most rapid transition of the three most common filters.
Figure 1 (elliptic1.png)

The magnitude of the transfer function is

Hⅈω=11+ε2 R n 2ω H ω 1 1 ε 2 R n ω 2 (1)
where R n ω R n ω is the nnth order Chebyshev rational function.

As with Butterworth and Chebyshev filters, the most reasonable way to design Elliptic filters is with the assistance of a table or Matlab. In this case, the relevant Matlab command is ellipap.

My Favorites (?)

'My Favorites' is a special kind of lens which you can use to bookmark modules and collections directly in Connexions. 'My Favorites' can only be seen by you, and collections saved in 'My Favorites' can remember the last module you were on. You need a Connexions account to use 'My Favorites'.

Definition of a lens

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
