One-pole low-pass filter

One-pole low-pass filter: (a) pole-zero diagram; (b)
frequency response.</CAPTION>

<P>
The one-pole low-pass filter has a single pole located at a positive real
number <IMG
WIDTH="11" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
SRC="img57.png"
ALT="$p$">, as pictured in Figure <A HREF="#fig08.12">8.12</A>. This is just a recirculating
comb filter with delay length <IMG
WIDTH="40" HEIGHT="14" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"
SRC="img736.png"
ALT="$d=1$">, and the analysis of Section
<A HREF="node109.html#sect7.recirculatingcomb">7.4</A> applies. The maximum gain occurs at a
frequency of zero, corresponding to the point on the circle closest to the
point <IMG
WIDTH="11" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
SRC="img57.png"
ALT="$p$">. The gain there is <IMG
WIDTH="67" HEIGHT="32" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
SRC="img909.png"
ALT="$1/(1-p)$">. Assuming <IMG
WIDTH="11" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
SRC="img57.png"
ALT="$p$"> is close
to one, if we move a distance of <IMG
WIDTH="38" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
SRC="img910.png"
ALT="$1-p$"> units
up or down from the real (horizontal) axis, the distance increases by a
factor of about <IMG
WIDTH="24" HEIGHT="37" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
SRC="img732.png"
ALT="$\sqrt{2}$">, and so we expect the half-power point to occur at
an angular frequency of about <IMG
WIDTH="38" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
SRC="img910.png"
ALT="$1-p$">.
<P>
This calculation is often made in reverse: if we wish the half-power point to
lie at a given angular frequency <IMG
WIDTH="14" HEIGHT="13" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"
SRC="img27.png"
ALT="$\omega $">, we set <IMG
WIDTH="70" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
SRC="img911.png"
ALT="$p = 1-\omega$">. This
approximation only works well if the value of <IMG
WIDTH="14" HEIGHT="13" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"
SRC="img27.png"
ALT="$\omega $"> is well under <IMG
WIDTH="29" HEIGHT="32" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
SRC="img5.png"
ALT="$\pi /2$">,
as it often is in practice.
It is customary to normalize the one-pole low-pass filter, multiplying it by
the constant factor <IMG
WIDTH="38" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
SRC="img910.png"
ALT="$1-p$"> in order to give a gain of 1 at zero frequency;
nonzero frequencies will then get a gain less than one.
<P>
The frequency response is graphed in Figure <A HREF="#fig08.12">8.12</A> (part b). The
audible frequencies only reach to the middle of the graph; the right-hand
side of the frequency response curve all lies above the Nyquist frequency
<IMG
WIDTH="13" HEIGHT="13" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"
SRC="img41.png"
ALT="$\pi $">.
<P>
The one-pole low-pass filter is often used to seek trends in noisy signals.
For instance, if you use a physical controller and only
care about changes on the order of 1/10 second or so, you can smooth the
values with a low-pass filter whose half-power point is 20 or 30
cycles per second.
