wfilters

Wavelet filters

Syntax

[LoD,HiD,LoR,HiR] = wfilters(wname)

[F1,F2] = wfilters(wname,type)

Description

[LoD,HiD,LoR,HiR] = wfilters(wname) returns the four lowpass and highpass, decomposition and reconstruction filters associated with the orthogonal or biorthogonal wavelet wname.

[F1,F2] = wfilters(wname,type) returns the pair of type filters associated with the orthogonal or biorthogonal wavelet wname. For example, wfilters('db6','h') returns the pair of highpass filters HiD and HiR associated with the db6 wavelet.

Examples

Compute Four Filters

Set the wavelet name.

wname = 'db5';

Compute the four filters associated with wavelet name specified by wname and plot the results.
