Design of Digital filter using Digital to Digital transformation

There exists a set of transformation that takes a low pass digital filter and turn into highpass, bandpass, bandstop or another lowpass digital filter. These transformations are given in table 9.1.

The transformations all take the form of replacing the 1 in 2 by 4 some function of.

Starting with a set of digital specifications and using the inverse of the design equation given in table 9.1, a set of lowpass digital requirements can be established. A LPF digital prototype filter 1 is then selected to satisfy these requirements and the proper digital to digital transformation is applied to give the desired.

 
Example

Using the digital to digital transformation, find the system function 1 for a low-pass digital filter that satisfies the following set the requirements (a) monotone stop and passband (b)-3dB cutoff frequency of 2(c) attenuation at and past 3 is at least 15dB.

Because of monotone requirement, a Butterworth filter is selected. The required n is given by

rounded to 2.

For 1 we get from table 9.1. 2, From standard tables (or MATLAB) we find standard 2 nd order Butterworth filter with cut off 3 and then apply the digital transform to get
