Interactively design and validate your IIR/FIR digital filter within minutes rather than hours.
No need to explicitly define technical specifications before you begin designing.
Validate your datasets and filter performance in real-time via the advanced signal analyser.
Interactively experiment with specialised symbolic mathematical transfer functions.
Easily integrate your designed filter blocks with your other algorithms in other domains.
Built on 25 years IP experience that has been tried and tested worldwide.
Both frequency domain and time domain charts are fully supported. This allows design verification via transfer function estimation using the cross \((P_{yx})\) and power \((P_{xx})\) spectral density functions. As with all other charts, the signal analyser chart fully supports advanced zooming and panning. Besides, it has comprehensive chart data file export options.
The signal analyser allows designers to test their design on audio, real (user) data or synthetic data via the built-in signal generator. Default data playback is implemented as streaming data. This provides a simple way of assessing the filter’s dynamic performance, which is especially useful for fixed point implementations.
Math methods: autocorrelation, real Cepstrum, Fourier, Windowing and trend removal.
Zero-crossings detector, peak detector and a Savitzky-Golay filter.
Generate a custom test signal: Sine/cosine, square, triangle, sawtooth, step, impulse, white noise, DC offset, AM, or load an external datafile or audio datafile.
Import your own sensor test data (csv or txt) – a data import wizard is also available.
For per sample data evaluation and real-time frame based analysis.
Stream wav audio files up to 48kHz and listen the filtered results in real-time.
State-of-the-art algorithms and highly optimised DSP libraries allow for panning and zooming the frequency response chart in real-time with the mouse. Quickly and simply obtain detail frequenccy response information. Therefor, we have advanced zooming feature built-in. Even when the sampling frequency is several hundred MHz, via a specialized implementation of the Discrete Fourier Transform. Depending on the selected frequency range, this can be as detailed to a fraction of a Hertz!
The main FIR/IIR digital filter designer is an extremely easy to use graphical design interface. Specify your technical requirements graphically with a mouse.
Interactively design, validate and deploy your digital filter within minutes rather than hours.
No need to explicitly define technical specifications before you begin designing, just draw and fine-tune your requirements in real-time and let the tool fill in the exact details for you.
Three arithmetic options are available: double and signal precision and Fixed-point arithmetic. The latter may be used for designing filters in embedded applications between 8-32 bits.
Equalise the phase response of even the most challenging IIR filters with the all-pass filter cascade.
Zoom, pan and graphically fine-tune designs to your exact requirements, and see the effect on the frequency response in real-time.
ASN FilterScript allows designers to implement IIR/FIR symbolic mathematical expressions directly. These may be definitions taken directly from textbooks, technical standards or even reference designs. The scripting language itself supports over 65 scientific commands and takes the best aspects of Matlab, Scilab, R and ANSI C.
Symbolic math parser language and simulation IDE (integrated development environment).
Trigonometrical, vector, general math and filter design methods.
Analog-to-digital transforms: Bilinear and matched z-transform.
Butter, Cheby1, Cheby2, Ellip and Bessel, notch and dcremover.
movaver, firwin, firarb, firkaiser, firgauss, and savgolay.
The ‘live IDE’ offers designers the unique and powerful ability to modify parameters on-the-fly with the so-called interface variables, allowing for real-time updates of the resulting frequency response.
