Low pass filter design

Hi, i designed a low pass filter but it is not working to 0.05 sec. After this point filter work normally. How to i can fix it thank you.

Fs=10000;

Ts=1/Fs;

signalLength=1000;

t=(0:signalLength-1)*Ts;

filtLP= designfilt('lowpassfir','FilterOrder',50,'CutoffFrequency',250,...

'SampleRate',Fs);

outputAfterFilterLPFourier = fft(outputAfterFilterLP,NFFT)/signalLength;

Hi Toygar Ozel,

have a look at the step response of your filter, e.g. using filter designer. You can determine easily that the group delay of your filter is around 0.05 s. You would have to use another filter design in order to reduce the group delay.

Kind regards,

Robert

Hi Rober, at first thank you for support. Do you know another filter without delay to i can use?

[Robert U]

All filters have delays. The question is rather how much delay is still ok for the application, and how phase should look like in order to not distort the signal too much. Finding a working filter within these requirements is part of the filter design work.

Kind regards,

Robert
