e lter clearly reduces the amplitude of the sine wave. Whereas the input
signal has an amplitude of 2, the output has an amplitude of

i. e., by approximately 43 %. e elements 40 to 60 are used for computing
the maximum value of
y8, in order to avoid edge e ects. Nevertheless, the
lter does not a ect the phase of the sine wave, i. e., both input and output
are in phase.
e same lter, however, has a di erent impact on a di erent input sig-
nal. Let us design another sine wave with a similar amplitude, but with a
di erent period of 15.

y9 = y9(1+(m9-1)/2:end-(m9-1)/2,1);
y9(end+1:end+m9-1,1) = zeros(m9-1,1);

cally reduced compared to that of the input.

6.8 FREQUENCY RESPONSE 179

e running mean over eleven elements reduces the amplitude of this signal
by 67 %. More generally, the lter response clearly depends on the frequency
of the input. e frequency components of a more complex signal contain-
ing multiple periodicities are a ected in a di erent way. e frequency re-
sponse of a lter

can be computed using the function freqz.
[h,w] = freqz(b10,1,512);
e function freqz returns the complex frequency response h of the digital
lter b10. e frequency axis is normalized to π. We transform the frequency
axis to the true frequency values. e true frequency values are w times the
sampling frequency, which is one in our example, divided by 2*
pi.
f = 1*w/(2*pi);
Next, we calculate and display the magnitude of the frequency response.
magnitude = abs(h);
plot(f,magnitude)
xlabel('Frequency'), ylabel('Magnitude')
title('Magnitude')
is plot can be used to predict the e ect of the lter for any frequency of an
input signal. We can interpolate the magnitude of the frequency response
to calculate the increase or reduction of a signal's amplitude for a speci c
frequency. As an example, the interpolation of
magnitude for a frequency
of 1/20
1-interp1(f,magnitude,1/20)
ans =
0.4260
results in the expected ca. 43 % reduction in the amplitude of a sine wave
with a period of 20. e sine wave with a period of 15 experiences an ampli-
tude reduction of
1-interp1(f,magnitude,1/15)
ans =
0.6751
180 6 SIGNAL PROCESSING
i. e., around 68 % similar to the value observed previously. e frequency
response can be calculated for all kinds of lters. It is a valuable tool for
predicting the e ects of a lter on signals in general. e phase response
can also be calculated from the complex frequency response of the lter
(Fig. 6.4):
phase = 180*angle(h)/pi;
plot(f,phase)
xlabel('Frequency'), ylabel('Phase in degrees')
title('Phase')
e phase angle is plotted in degrees. We observe frequent 180° jumps in
this plot that are an artifact of the function
arctangent within the func-
tion
angle. We can unwrap the phase response to eliminate the 180° jumps
using the function
unwrap.
plot(f, unwrap(phase))
xlabel('Frequency'), ylabel('Phase in degrees')
title('Phase')
Since the lter has a linear phase response, no shi s occur in the frequency
components of the signals relative to each other. We would therefore not ex-
pect any distortions of the signal in the frequency domain. e phase shi
of the lter can be computed using
interp1(f,unwrap(phase),1/20) * 20/360
ans =
-5.0000
and
interp1(f,unwrap(phase),1/15) * 15/360
ans =
-5.0000
for the sine waves with periods of 20 and 15, respectively. Since MATLAB
uses causal indexing for lters, the phase needs to be corrected, in a similar
way to the delayed output of the lter. In our example, we used a lter with
a length of eleven. We therefore have to correct the phase by (11–1)/2=5,
which suggests a zero phase shi for the lter for both frequencies.
is also works for recursive lters. Consider a simple sine wave with a
period of 8 and the previously employed recursive lter.

e next section gives an introduction to the design of lters with a desired
frequency response. ese lters can be used to amplify or suppress di er-
ent components of arbitrary signals.
6.9 Filter Design
We now aim to design lters with a speci c frequency response. We rst
generate a synthetic signal with two periods, 50 and 5. e power spectrum
of the signal shows the expected peaks at frequencies of 0.02 and 0.20.

e Butterworth lter design technique is widely used in order to create
lters of any order with a lowpass, highpass, bandpass and bandstop con-
guration (Fig. 6.5). In our example, we would like to design a ve-order
lowpass lter with a cuto frequency of 0.10. e inputs of the function
butter are the order of the lter and the cuto frequency normalized to
the Nyquist frequency, which in our example is 0.5, i. e., half of the sampling
frequency.
[b12,a12] = butter(5,0.1/0.5);
e frequency characteristics of the lter show a relatively smooth transi-
tion from the passband to the stopband, but the advantage of the lter is its
low order.

We can again apply the lter to the signal by using the function filter.
184 6 SIGNAL PROCESSING
However, frequency selective lters such as lowpass, highpass, bandpass and
bandstop lters are designed to suppress certain frequency bands, but phase
shi s should be avoided. e function
filtfilt provides zero-phase for-
ward and reverse digital ltering. A er ltering in the forward direction, the
ltered sequence is reversed and runs back through the lter. e magnitude
of the signal is not a ected by this operation, since it is either 0 or 100 % of
the initial amplitude, depending on the frequency. Any phase shi s intro-
duced by the lter are canceled out by the forward and reverse application
of the same lter. is function also helps to overcome the problems with
causal indexing of lters in MATLAB by eliminating the phase di erences
between the causal and non-causal versions of the same lter. Filtering, and
then plotting the results clearly illustrates the e ects of the lter.
xf12 = filtfilt(b12,a12,x12);
plot(t,x12,'b-',t,xf12,'r-')
axis([0 200 -4 4])
One might now wish to design a new lter with a more rapid transition from
passband to stopband. Such a lter requires a higher order, i. e., it needs a
larger number of lter weights. We now create a 15-order Butterworth lter
as an alternative to the above lter.
[b13,a13] = butter(15,0.1/0.5);
[h,w] = freqz(b13,a13,1024);
f = 1*w/(2*pi);

e frequency response is clearly improved. e entire passband is relatively
at at a value of 1.0, whereas the stopband is approximately zero everywhere.
We next modify our input signal by introducing a third period of 5. is sig-
nal is then used to illustrate the operation of a Butterworth bandstop lter.

e new Butterworth lter is a bandstop lter. e stopband of the lter is
between the frequencies 0.05 and 0.15. It can therefore be used to suppress
the period of 10, corresponding to a frequency of 0.1.
xn14 = x14 + randn(1,length(t));
[b14,a14] = butter(5,[0.05 0.15]/0.5,'stop');

e plots show the e ect of this lter. e frequency band between 0.05 and
0.15, and therefore also the frequency of 0.1, have been successfully removed
from the signal.
6.10 Adaptive Filtering
e xed lters used in the previous sections make the basic assumption that
the signal degradation is known and does not change with time. In most ap-
plications, however, an a priori knowledge of the signal and noise statistical
characteristics is not usually available. In addition, both the noise level and
the variance of the genuine signal can be highly nonstationary with respect
to time, e. g., stable isotope records during the glacial-interglacial transition.
Fixed lters cannot thus be used in a nonstationary environment without
any knowledge of the signal-to-noise ratio.
Adaptive lters, widely used in the telecommunication industry, could
help to overcome these problems. An adaptive lter is an example for an
inverse modeling process that iteratively adjusts its own coe cients auto-
matically without requiring any a priori knowledge of the signal and the
noise. e operation of an adaptive lter includes (1) a ltering process, the
purpose of which is to produce an output in response to a sequence of data,
and (2) an adaptive process providing a mechanism for the adaptive control
of the lter weights (Haykin 1991).
In most practical applications, the adaptive process is oriented towards
minimizing an estimation error e. e estimation error e at an instant i is
de ned by the di erence between the desired response d
i
and the actual
lter output y
i
, which is the ltered version of a signal x
i
, as shown by
186 6 SIGNAL PROCESSING
where i=1, 2, …, N and N is the length of the input data vector. In the case
of a nonrecursive lter characterized by a vector of lter weights W with f
elements, the lter output y
i
is given by the inner product of the transposed
vector W and the input vector X
i
.
e choice of desired response d that is used in the adaptive process depends
on the application. Traditionally, d is a combination signal that is comprised
of a signal s and random noise n
0
. e signal x contains noise n
1
that is
uncorrelated with the signal s but correlated in some unknown way to the
noise n
0
. In noise canceling systems, the practical objective is to produce
a system output y that is a best t in the least-squares sense to the desired
response d.
Di erent approaches have been developed to solve this multivari-
ate minimum error optimization problem (e. g., Widrow and Ho 1960,
Widrow et al. 1975, Haykin 1991). e selection of one algorithm over an-
other is in uenced by various factors, including the rate of convergence (the
number of adaptive steps required for the algorithm to converge closely
enough to an optimum solution), the misadjustment (the measure of the
amount by which the nal value of the mean-squared error deviates from
the minimum squared error of an optimal lter, e. g., Wiener 1945, Kalman
and Bucy 1961), and the tracking (the capability of the lter to work in a
nonstationary environment, i. e., to track changing statistical characteris-
tics of the input signal) (Haykin 1991).
e simplicity of the least-mean-squares (LMS) algorithm, originally
developed by Widrow and Ho (1960), has made it the benchmark against
which other adaptive ltering algorithms are tested. For applications in
earth sciences, we use this lter to extract the noise from two signals S and
X, both containing the same signal s, but with uncorrelated noise n
1
and n
2
(Hattingh 1988). As an example, consider a simple duplicate set of measure-
ments on the same material, e. g., two parallel stable isotope records from
the same foraminifera species. You would expect two time-series, each with
N elements, containing the same desired signal overlain by di erent, uncor-
related noise. e rst record is used as the primary input S
6.10 ADAPTIVE FILTERING 187
6 SIGNAL PROCESSING
and the second record as the reference input X.
As demonstrated by Hattingh (1988), the required noise-free signal can be
extracted by ltering the reference input X using the primary input S as the
desired response d. e minimum error optimization problem is solved by
the least-mean-square norm. e mean-squared error e
i
2
is a second-order
function of the weights in the nonrecursive lter. e dependence of e
i
2
on
the unknown weights may be seen as a multidimensional paraboloid with a
uniquely de ned minimum point. e weights corresponding to the mini-
mum point on this error performance surface de ne the optimal Wiener so-
lution (Wiener 1945). e value computed for the weight vector W using the
LMS algorithm represents an estimator whose expected value approaches
the Wiener solution as the number of iterations approaches in nity (Haykin
1991). Gradient methods are used to reach the minimum point on the error
performance surface. To simplify the optimization problem, Widrow and
Ho (1960) developed an approximation for the required gradient function
that can be computed directly from the data. is leads to a simple relation
for updating the lter-weight vector W.
e new parameter estimate W
i+1
is based on the previous set of lter
weights W
i
plus a term that is the product of a bounded step size u, a func-
tion of the input state X
i
and a function of the error e
i
. In other words,
error e
i
calculated from the previous step is fed back into the system to
update lter coe cients for the next step (Fig. 6.6). e xed convergence
factor u regulates the speed and stability of adaption. A low value ensures
a higher level of accuracy, but more data are needed to enable the lter to
reach the optimum solution. In the modi ed version of the LMS algorithm
by Hattingh (1988), this problem is overcome by feeding the data back so
that the lter can have another chance to improve its own coe cients and
adapt to the changes in the data.
In the following function
canc, each of these loops is called an iteration,
and many of these loops are required if optimal results are to be achieved.
is algorithm extracts the noise-free signal from two vectors
x and s con-
taining the correlated signals and uncorrelated noise. As an example, we
generate two signals containing the same sine wave, but di erent Gaussian
noise.
