Introduction
Filtering is a tool for resolving signals
Filtering can be performed on either analog or digital signals
Filtering can be used for a number of purposes
For example, analog signals are typically routed through a lowpass filter prior to analog-to-digital conversion
The lowpass filter in this case is designed to prevent an aliasing error
This is an error whereby high frequency spectral components are added to lower frequencies

Introduction (Continued)
Another purpose of filtering is to clarify resonant behavior by attenuating the energy at frequencies away from the resonance
This Unit is concerned with practical application and examples
It covers filtering in the time domain using a digital Butterworth filter
This filter is implemented using a digital recursive equation in the time domain

Highpass & Lowpass Filters
A highpass filter is a filter which allows the high-frequency energy to pass through
It is thus used to remove low-frequency energy from a signal
A lowpass filter is a filter which allows the low-frequency energy to pass through
It is thus used to remove high-frequency energy from a signal
A bandpass filter may be constructed by using a highpass filter and lowpass filter in series

Butterworth Filter Characteristics
A Butterworth filter is one of several common infinite impulse response (IIR) filters
Other filters in this group include Bessel and Chebyshev filters
These filters are classified as feedback filters
The Butterworth filter can be used either for highpass, lowpass, or bandpass filtering
A Butterworth filter is characterized by its cut-off frequency
The cut-off frequency is the frequency at which the corresponding transfer function magnitude is –3 dB, equivalent to 0.707

Butterworth Filter (Continued)
A Butterworth filter is also characterized by its order
A sixth-order Butterworth filter is the filter of choice for this Unit
A property of Butterworth filters is that the transfer magnitude is –3 dB at the cut-off frequency regardless of the order
Other filter types, such as Bessel, do not share this characteristic
Consider a lowpass, sixth-order Butterworth filter with a cut-off frequency of 100 Hz
The corresponding transfer function magnitude is given in the following figure

Transfer Function Characteristics
Note that the curve in the previous figure has a gradual roll-off beginning at about 70 Hz
Ideally, the transfer function would have a rectangular shape, with a corner at (100 Hz, 1.00 )
This ideal is never realized in practice
Thus, a compromise is usually required to select the cut-off frequency
The transfer function could also be represented in terms of a complex function, with real and imaginary components

Frequency Domain Implementation
The curves in the previous figures suggests that filtering could be achieved as follows:
1. Take the Fourier transform of the input time history
2. Multiply the Fourier transform by the filter transfer function, in complex form
3. Take the inverse Fourier transform of the product
The above frequency domain method is valid
Nevertheless, the filtering algorithm is usually implemented in the time domain for computational efficiency, to avoid leakage error, etc.

Time Domain Implementation
The transfer function can be represented by H().
Digital filters are based on this transfer function, as shown in the filter block diagram.
Note that xk and yk are the time domain input and output, respectively.

Phase Correction
Ideally, a filter should provide linear phase response This is particularly desirable if shock response spectra calculations are required Butterworth filters, however, do not have a linear phase response Other IIR filters share this problem A number of methods are available, however, to correct the phase response One method is based on time reversals and multiple filtering as shown in the next slide

An important note about refiltering is that it reduces the transfer function magnitude at the cut-off frequency to –6 dB.

The primary wave, or P-wave, is a body wave that can propagate through the Earth’s core. This wave can also travel through water.
The P-wave is also a sound wave. It thus has longitudinal motion. Note that the P-wave is the fastest of the four waveforms.

28
The secondary wave, or S-wave, is a shear wave. It is a type of body wave.
The S-wave produces an amplitude disturbance that is at right angles to the direction of propagation.
Note that water cannot withstand a shear force. S-waves thus do not propagate in water.

Love waves are shearing horizontal waves. The motion of a Love wave is similar to the motion of a secondary wave except that Love wave only travel along the surface of the Earth.
Love waves do not propagate in water.

Rayleigh waves travel along the surface of the Earth.
Rayleigh waves produce retrograde elliptical motion. The ground motion is thus both horizontal and vertical. The motion of Rayleigh waves is similar to the motion of ocean waves except that ocean waves are prograde.
