scipy.signal.buttord(wp, ws, gpass, gstop, analog=False, fs=None)[source]#

Butterworth filter order selection.

Return the order of the lowest order digital or analog Butterworth filter that loses no more than gpass dB in the passband and has at least_gstop_ dB attenuation in the stopband.

Parameters:

wp, wsfloat

Passband and stopband edge frequencies.

For digital filters, these are in the same units as fs. By default,fs is 2 half-cycles/sample, so these are normalized from 0 to 1, where 1 is the Nyquist frequency. (wp and ws are thus in half-cycles / sample.) For example:

• Lowpass: wp = 0.2, ws = 0.3
• Highpass: wp = 0.3, ws = 0.2
• Bandpass: wp = [0.2, 0.5], ws = [0.1, 0.6]
• Bandstop: wp = [0.1, 0.6], ws = [0.2, 0.5]

For analog filters, wp and ws are angular frequencies (e.g., rad/s).

gpassfloat

The maximum loss in the passband (dB).

gstopfloat

The minimum attenuation in the stopband (dB).

analogbool, optional

When True, return an analog filter, otherwise a digital filter is returned.

fsfloat, optional

The sampling frequency of the digital system.

Added in version 1.2.0.

Returns:

ordint

The lowest order for a Butterworth filter which meets specs.

wnndarray or float

The Butterworth natural frequency (i.e. the “3dB frequency”). Should be used with butter to give filter results. If fs is specified, this is in the same units, and fs must also be passed to butter.

Examples

Design an analog bandpass filter with passband within 3 dB from 20 to 50 rad/s, while rejecting at least -40 dB below 14 and above 60 rad/s. Plot its frequency response, showing the passband and stopband constraints in gray.
