sdr.plot.filter(b: ArrayLike, a: ArrayLike = 1, sample_rate: float = 1.0, N_time: int | None = None, N_freq: int = 1024, x_axis: 'one-sided' | 'two-sided' | 'log' = 'two-sided', decades: int = 4)

Plots the frequency response \(H(e^{j\omega})\), impulse response \(h[n]\), step response \(s[n]\), and zeros and poles of the filter.

Parameters:
b: ArrayLike

The feedforward coefficients \(b_i\).

a: ArrayLike = 1

The feedback coefficients \(a_j\). For FIR filters, this is set to 1.

sample_rate: float = 1.0

The sample rate \(f_s\) of the filter in samples/s.

N_time: int | None = None

The number of samples \(N_t\) in the time domain. If None, the length of b is used for FIR filters and 100 for IIR filters.

N_freq: int = 1024

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

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

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.

decades: int = 4

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