Tables of novel Allpole Filters

Below tables of novel allpole filters are given which fulfill the specifications exactly. Clicking on the entries leads to a window which contains the poles of filters having degrees n, where nT ≤ n ≤ nB-1 which fullfill the specifications exactly.

Example

Assume you need a filter having the following specification: A passband attenuation of 0.1 dB and a stopband attenuation of 30 dB beginning at ωs=2.

If you select a Tschebyscheff filter, you need a degree of nT=5 to fulfill the specification.
If you select a Butterworth filter, the degree is nB=8.
If the passband requirement is fulfilled exactly, the Tschebyscheff filter has a stopband attenuation of 34.85 dB.
If the passband requirement is fulfilled exactly, the Butterworth filter has a stopband attenuation of 31.84 dB.

If you select the novel filter designs, you get filters of degrees n=5, 6, and 7 which fulfill the specification exactly.
For n=5 the passband ripples of the new design are much smaller than the ripples of the Tschebyscheff filter with same degree: see here.
For n=6 the passband ripples are hardly noticable: see here.
For n=7 the passband ripples of the new design are not noticable anymore and the design has one degree less than the Butterworth design: see here.
For further details see my paper K. Huber, 'All-Pole Filters Matched to Specifications', Journal of the Audio Engineering Society,Vol.61, No.12, pp.1022-1025, December 2013 .
The poles of the novel designs for degrees n=5,6,7 are contained in the above tables (row 0.1dB, column 30 dB).
