Low-Pass Butterworth Filter

Description

This benchmark from represents an analogue low-pass Butterworth filter. A Butterworth filter is an electrical signal processing filter. The low-pass variant allows signals with frequencies below a cut-off frequency $f$ to pass and mitigates those with frequencies above $f$.

Data

The following Matlab code assembles the above described $A$, $B$ and $C$ matrix for a given state-space dimension $N$ and a cut-off frequency $f=1rad/s$.

[A,B,C,D] = butter(N,1,'low','s'); % D = 0

The butter method is part of the Control System Toolbox; an example for $N=100$ is provided here: File:Lpbw mat.zip

Dimensions

System structure:

$\begin{array}{rl}\dot{x}(t)& =Ax(t)+Bu(t)\\ y(t)& =Cx(t)\end{array}$

System dimensions:

$A\in {\mathbb{ℝ}}^{N\times N}$, $B\in {\mathbb{ℝ}}^{N\times 1}$, $C\in {\mathbb{ℝ}}^{1\times N}$.
