BiquadV2Fract32

Overview

2nd order IIR filter

Discussion

Second order 5 multiply recursive filter with algorithm precision selectable. Precision type 0 uses 24x24 with 56-bit accumulator, 1 uses 32x32 with 32-bit accumulator, 2 uses 32x32 with 64-bit accumulator and 3 uses 24x24 with 24-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 4*numChannels 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:

\(y[n]=b_0x[n]+b_1x[n-1]+b_2x[n-2]-a_1y[n-1]-a_2y[n-2].\)
