sdr.plot.group_delay(filter: FIR | IIR | ArrayLike | tuple[ArrayLike, ArrayLike], sample_rate: float | None = None, N: int = 1024, ax: plt.Axes | None = None, x_axis: 'auto' | 'one-sided' | 'two-sided' | 'log' = 'auto', decades: int = 4, **kwargs)

Plots the group delay \(\tau_g(\omega)\) of the IIR filter.

Parameters:
filter: FIR | IIR | ArrayLike | tuple[ArrayLike, ArrayLike]

The filter definition.

  • sdr.FIR, sdr.IIR: The filter object.

  • npt.ArrayLike: The feedforward coefficients \(b_i\).

  • tuple[npt.ArrayLike, npt.ArrayLike]: The feedforward coefficients \(b_i\) and feedback coefficients \(a_j\).

sample_rate: float | None = None

The sample rate \(f_s\) of the signal in samples/s. If None, the x-axis will be labeled as “Normalized frequency”.

N: int = 1024

The number of samples \(N\) in the frequency response.

ax: plt.Axes | None = None

The axis to plot on. If None, the current axis is used.

x_axis: 'auto' | 'one-sided' | 'two-sided' | 'log' = 'auto'

The x-axis scaling. Options are to display a one-sided spectrum, a two-sided spectrum, or one-sided spectrum with a logarithmic frequency axis. The default is "auto" which selects "one-sided" for real-valued filters and "two-sided" for complex-valued filters.

decades: int = 4

The number of decades to plot when x_axis="log".

**kwargs

Additional keyword arguments to pass to matplotlib.pyplot.plot().
