sdr.plot.impulse_response(filter: FIR | IIR | ArrayLike | tuple[ArrayLike, ArrayLike], N: int | None = None, **kwargs)

Plots the impulse response \(h[n]\) of a filter.

The impulse response \(h[n]\) is the filter output when the input is an impulse \(\delta[n]\).

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 \(a_j\).

N: int | None = None

The number of samples \(N\) to plot. If None, the length of b is used for FIR filters and 100 for IIR filters.

**kwargs

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