# cheb1ord

scipy.signal.cheb1ord(wp, ws, gpass, gstop, analog=False, fs=None)

  Chebyshev type I filter order selection.

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

  Parameters:
    wp, wsfloat

      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).

    gpassfloat

      The maximum loss in the passband (dB).

    gstopfloat

      The minimum attenuation in the stopband (dB).

    analogbool, optional

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

    fsfloat, optional

      The sampling frequency of the digital system.

      Added in version 1.2.0.

  Returns:
    ordint

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

    wnndarray or float

      The Chebyshev natural frequency (the “3dB frequency”) for use with `cheby1` to give filter results. If fs is specified, this is in the same units, and fs must also be passed to `cheby1`.

  Examples

  Design a digital lowpass filter such that the passband is within 3 dB up to 0.2*(fs/2), while rejecting at least -40 dB above 0.3*(fs/2). Plot its frequency response, showing the passband and stopband constraints in gray.
