Syntax

BW = getBandwidth(npFilter)

Description

example

BW = getBandwidth(npFilter) returns the 3 dB bandwidth for the notch peak filter. If the Specification property is set to 'Quality factor and center frequency', the 3 dB bandwidth is determined from the quality factor value. If the Specification property is set to 'Coefficients', the 3 dB bandwidth is determined from the BandwidthCoefficient value and the sample rate.

Open Live Script

Create a dsp.NotchPeakFilter object with the Specification property set to 'Quality factor and center frequency'. The default quality factor Q is 5, and the center frequency Fc is 11,025 Hz.

np = dsp.NotchPeakFilter('Specification',...
    'Quality factor and center frequency')
np = 
  dsp.NotchPeakFilter with properties:

      Specification: 'Quality factor and center frequency'
      QualityFactor: 5
    CenterFrequency: 11025
         SampleRate: 44100

Compute the 3 dB bandwidth of the notch peak filter using the getBandwidth function. The bandwidth is computed as the ratio of the center frequency and the quality factor, FcQ.

getBandwidth(np)
ans = 2205

Visualize the filter response using fvtool.
