BiquadCascadeHPFract32
Overview
2nd order cascaded IIR filter, high precision
Discussion
Second order cascaded 5 multiply recursive filter with algorithm precision uses 24x24 with 56-bit accumulator. The module is designed to operate on multiple channels and applies the same coefficients across all channels. The state array is allocated to contain 6numStagesnumChannels values. The frequency response of the module is determined by the values of the 5 coefficients, and the coefficients come directly from the MATLAB second order representation. The leading a0 coefficient is not supplied and is assumed to equal 1.0. The module implements the difference equation:
\(y[n]=b_0x[n]+b_1x[n-1]+b_2x[n-2]-a_1y[n-1]-a_2y[n-2].\)
