Lenses

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

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to 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 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.

"Notes on the Design of Optimal FIR Filters" Appendix A

Module by: John Treichler. E-mail the author

The Formula for Converting between and Passband Ripple

From equation 2 in the module titled Statement of Optimal Linear Phase FIR Filter Design Problem, the peak-to-peak passband ripple, measured in decibels, is given by

P B R = 10 l o g 10 ( 1 + δ 1 ) 2 ( 1 - δ 1 ) 2 , P B R = 10 l o g 10 ( 1 + δ 1 ) 2 ( 1 - δ 1 ) 2 ,
(1)

where δ1δ1 is the peak amplitude deviation in the passband. Suppose now that

0 < δ 1 ≪ 1 . 0 < δ 1 ≪ 1 .
(2)

If so, then the passband ripple PBR is closely approximated by

P B R ≈ 10 l o g 10 ( 1 + 4 δ 1 ) . P B R ≈ 10 l o g 10 ( 1 + 4 δ 1 ) .
(3)

Now recall that loge(1+x)≈xloge(1+x)≈x, when xx is small compared to unity, and that log10x≈0.434·logexlog10x≈0.434·logex. Combining these facts, leads to the equation

P B R ≈ 10 l o g 10 ( 1 + 4 δ 1 ) ≈ 4 . 34 · l o g e ( 1 + 4 δ 1 ) ≈ 17 . 36 · δ 1 . P B R ≈ 10 l o g 10 ( 1 + 4 δ 1 ) ≈ 4 . 34 · l o g e ( 1 + 4 δ 1 ) ≈ 17 . 36 · δ 1 .
(4)

This formula holds as long as δ1δ1 is small compared to unity. Using δ1=0.1δ1=0.1 as a benchmark, the formula holds for values of passband ripple less than 1.5 to 2 dB, the range in which most filter design falls.
