      '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.

    Rating system

    Ratings

    Ratings allow you to judge the quality of modules. If other users have ranked the module then its average rating is displayed below. Ratings are calculated on a scale from one star (Poor) to five stars (Excellent).

    How to rate a module

    Hover over the star that corresponds to the rating you wish to assign. Click on the star to add your rating. Your rating should be based on the quality of the content. You must have an account and be logged in to rate content.

IIR Filter Design Problem

Choose a i a i , b i b i to best approximate some desired | H d w| H d w or, (occasionally), H d w H d w .

As before, different design techniques will be developed for different approximation criteria.

Outline of IIR Filter Design Material

  • Bilinear Transform: Maps ∥L∥∞ L optimal (and other) analog filter designs to ∥L∥∞ L optimal digital IIR filter designs.
  • Prony's Method: Quasi- ∥L∥2 2 L optimal method for time-domain fitting of a desired impulse response (ad hoc).
  • Lp Optimal Design: ∥L∥p p L optimal filter design (1<p<∞ 1 p ) using non-linear optimization techniques.

Comments on IIR Filter Design Methods

The bilinear transform method is used to design "typical" ∥L∥∞ L magnitude optimal filters. The ∥L∥p p L optimization procedures are used to design filters for which classical analog prototype solutions don't exist. The program by Deczky (DSP Programs Book, IEEE Press) is widely used. Prony/Linear Prediction techniques are used often to obtain initial guesses, and are almost exclusively used in data modeling, system identification, and most applications involving the fitting of real data (for example, the impulse response of an unknown filter).
