I have some MATLAB code that filters an input signal using filter
:
CUTOFF = 0.05;
FS = 5000;
[b, a] = butter(1, CUTOFF / (FS / 2), 'high');
% b = [0.99996859, -0.99996859]
% a = [1.0, -0.99993717]
dataAfter = filter(b, a, dataBefore);
I'm trying to convert this code to C#. I have already got the butter
function to work pretty fast, but now I'm stuck converting the filter
function.
I have read the MATLAB filter documentation and Python Scipy.signal filter documentation, but there is a term present in the transfer function definition that I don't understand.
Here is the "rational transfer function" definition from the linked documentation:
b[0] + b[1]z^(-1) + ... + b[M]z^(-M)
Y(z) = _______________________________________ X(z)
a[0] + a[1]z^(-1) + ... + a[N]z^(-N)
Correct me if i'm wrong, but z
is the current element of input data, and Y(z)
is the output?
If the above this is true, what is X(z)
in this equation?
I want to understand this to implement it in C#, if there is an equivalent option then please enlighten me.
