# scipy.signal.cheb2ord

scipy.signal.cheb2ord(wp, ws, gpass, gstop, analog=False, fs=None)

  Chebyshev type II filter order selection.

  Return the order of the lowest order digital or analog Chebyshev Type II filter that loses no more than gpass dB in the passband and has at least gstop dB attenuation in the stopband.

  Parameters:
    wp, ws float

      Passband and stopband edge frequencies.

      For digital filters, these are in the same units as fs. By default, fs is 2 half-cycles/sample, so these are normalized from 0 to 1, where 1 is the Nyquist frequency. (wp and ws are thus in half-cycles / sample.) For example:

      > - Lowpass: wp = 0.2, ws = 0.3

      > - Highpass: wp = 0.3, ws = 0.2

      > - Bandpass: wp = [0.2, 0.5], ws = [0.1, 0.6]

      > - Bandstop: wp = [0.1, 0.6], ws = [0.2, 0.5]

      For analog filters, wp and ws are angular frequencies (e.g., rad/s).

    gpass float

      The maximum loss in the passband (dB).

    gstop float

      The minimum attenuation in the stopband (dB).

    analog bool, optional

      When True, return an analog filter, otherwise a digital filter is returned.

    fs float, optional

      The sampling frequency of the digital system.

      New in version 1.2.0.

  Returns:
    ord int

      The lowest order for a Chebyshev type II filter that meets specs.

    wn ndarray or float

      The Chebyshev natural frequency (the “3dB frequency”) for use with `cheby2` to give filter results. If fs is specified, this is in the same units, and fs must also be passed to `cheby2`.

  Examples

  Design a digital bandstop filter which rejects -60 dB from 0.2*(fs/2) to 0.5*(fs/2), while staying within 3 dB below 0.1*(fs/2) or above 0.6*(fs/2). Plot its frequency response, showing the passband and stopband constraints in gray.
