IIR Filter

Construct an IIR with the given taps.

Parameters

(R): Run-time adjustable

Feed-Forward taps (R)

Feedback taps (R)

Old style of taps

The old style of the IIR filter uses feedback taps that are negative of what most definitions use (scipy and Matlab among them). This parameter keeps using the old GNU Radio style and is set to TRUE by default. When taps generated from scipy, Matlab, or gr_filter_design, use the new style by setting this to FALSE.

Description

In this very complex flowgraph, we use coefficients as calculated in Robert Bristow-Johnson Cookbook formulae for audio EQ biquad filter coefficients in a "peakingEQ" configuration.

We choose 8 logarithmically distributed frequencies, and make the (linear!) gain for each of these frequencies adjustable. (The frequencies are also adjustable.)

By disabling the Wav File Source and enabling the Noise source, you can see the frequency response of these filters; you'll want to disable the Audio Sink, to save your speakers from white noise. Enable the Audio Source instead to get a passthrough equalizer.
