The Design of A Fifth Order Low Pass in Order To Study The Whale Song
The Design of A Fifth Order Low Pass in Order To Study The Whale Song
Signal and systems, fall 2019. Universidad de las Américas Puebla, México
is a fifth order equation which has a structure very similar
to the next equation:
Abstract. In this work, we present a design of a fifth 1
order low pass filter with a 20 Hz cutoff frequency using 𝐻(𝑠) =
the Butterworth approximation. In this work is presented ( as5 + bs4 + cs3 + ds2 + es + f)
how poles are found, the expression of the transfer And is a Butterworth filter due to the fact that we use
function H(s) and the implementation of the filter using the Butterworth approximation to design the filter, and
an active implementation. the reasons are the following
Is the most common approximation
Key words: Fifth order filter, cut off frequency, low pass
The curve has a constant decrease
filter.
The curve is flat in the passing band

𝐻(𝑠) =
(𝑠 − 20𝑒 𝑗108° )(𝑠 − 20𝑒 −𝑗108° )(𝑠 − 20𝑒 𝑗144° )(𝑠 − 20𝑒 −𝑗144° )(𝑠 + 20)

𝐻2 (𝑠) =
𝑠2 − 20𝑒𝑗144° − 20𝑒−𝑗144° + 400

𝐻3 (𝑠) =
𝑠 + 20
Simplifying the equations and applying the properties
of the convolution, we obtain the next equation: As we can see in the graph, the w is in the 20 hertz.
Which is the expected behavior.

𝐻(𝑠) = ∗ ∗
𝑠 2 + 12.36𝑠 + 400 𝑠 2 + 32.36𝑠 + 400 𝑠 + 20
Conclusions
With this transfer function we can do the design of the With this work we develop a low pass filter with the
filter using the following symbology finality to help in the research of the whale songs due to
the fact that the filter will block all the sounds whit
Symbol Circuit frequencies higher than 20 hertz, isolating the sounds
produced by the whales, making easier to the researchers
to study the patrons, notes, periodicity and the purpose to
understand a litter bit more this incredible creatures,
because nowadays this creatures are very hard to find in
the surface of the sea, especially the great blue whale,
letting a only one way to study this animals, the sound
that they produce to communicate to each other.
The implementation of the Butterworth
approximation in this case is very useful due to the
characteristic of the method, which is the maximum flat
transfer band pass that allows the filter to pass more
information near to the cut off frequency.
