# 9.1 Surround sound: chamberlin filters

 Page 1 / 1
The Chamberlin filter topology can implement very narrow-band, low-pass filters. This module provides the Chamberlin filter transfer function, an illustration of the topology, and sample frequency responses for different choices of design parameters.

## Introduction

Chamberlin filter topology is frequently used in music applications where very narrow-band, low-pass filters arenecessary. Chamberlin implementations do not suffer from some stability problems that arise in direct-form implementationsof very narrow-band responses. For more information about IIR/FIR filter design for DSPs, refer to the Motorola Application Note .

## Filter topology

A Chamberlin filter is a simple two-pole IIR filter with the transfer function given in [link] :

$H(z)=\frac{{F}_{z}^{2}z^{-1}}{1-(2-{F}_{c}{Q}_{c}-{F}_{c}^{2})z^{-1}-1z^{-2}}$
where $F(c)$ determines the frequency where the filter peaks, and ${Q}_{c}(\frac{1}{Q})$ determines the rolloff. Q is defined as the positive ratio of the center frequency to thebandwidth. A derivation and more detailed explanation is given in Dattorro . The topology of the filter is shown in [link] . Note that the final feedback stage puts a pole just inside theunit circle on the real axis. For a response with smaller bandwidth, move the pole closer to the unit circle, but do notmove it so far that the filter becomes unstable. Multiple second-order sections can be cascaded to yield a sharperrolloff.

[link] and [link] show how the response of the filter varies with ${Q}_{c}$ and ${F}_{c}$ .

## Exercise

First, create a MATLAB script that takes two parameters, ${Q}_{c}$ and ${F}_{c}$ , and plots the frequency response of a filter with a transfer function given in [link] . Then implement a Chamberlin filter on the DSP and compare itsperformance with that of your MATLAB simulation for the same values of ${Q}_{c}$ and ${F}_{c}$ . What do you observe?

I only see partial conversation and what's the question here!
what about nanotechnology for water purification
please someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think one can use nanoparticles, specially silver nanoparticles for water treatment.
Damian
what is the stm
is there industrial application of fullrenes. What is the method to prepare fullrene on large scale.?
Rafiq
industrial application...? mmm I think on the medical side as drug carrier, but you should go deeper on your research, I may be wrong
Damian
How we are making nano material?
what is a peer
What is meant by 'nano scale'?
What is STMs full form?
LITNING
scanning tunneling microscope
Sahil
how nano science is used for hydrophobicity
Santosh
Do u think that Graphene and Fullrene fiber can be used to make Air Plane body structure the lightest and strongest. Rafiq
Rafiq
what is differents between GO and RGO?
Mahi
what is simplest way to understand the applications of nano robots used to detect the cancer affected cell of human body.? How this robot is carried to required site of body cell.? what will be the carrier material and how can be detected that correct delivery of drug is done Rafiq
Rafiq
what is Nano technology ?
write examples of Nano molecule?
Bob
The nanotechnology is as new science, to scale nanometric
brayan
nanotechnology is the study, desing, synthesis, manipulation and application of materials and functional systems through control of matter at nanoscale
Damian
Is there any normative that regulates the use of silver nanoparticles?
what king of growth are you checking .?
Renato
What fields keep nano created devices from performing or assimulating ? Magnetic fields ? Are do they assimilate ?
why we need to study biomolecules, molecular biology in nanotechnology?
?
Kyle
yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
Kyle
biomolecules are e building blocks of every organics and inorganic materials.
Joe
anyone know any internet site where one can find nanotechnology papers?
research.net
kanaga
sciencedirect big data base
Ernesto
Introduction about quantum dots in nanotechnology
what does nano mean?
nano basically means 10^(-9). nanometer is a unit to measure length.
Bharti
do you think it's worthwhile in the long term to study the effects and possibilities of nanotechnology on viral treatment?
absolutely yes
Daniel
how to know photocatalytic properties of tio2 nanoparticles...what to do now
it is a goid question and i want to know the answer as well
