MIDDLEEARFILTER - Middle ear filter
Program code:
function [b,a] = middleearfilter(fs,varargin)
%MIDDLEEARFILTER Middle ear filter
% Usage: [b,a]=middleearfilter(fs,varargin);
% [b,a]=middleearfilter(fs);
% [b,a]=middleearfilter;
%
% MIDDLEEARFILTER(fs) computes the filter coefficients of a FIR (or IIR)
% filter approximating the effect of the middle ear.
%
% The following parameter and flags can be specified additionally:
%
% 'order',order Sets the filter order of the computed FIR filter.
% Default value is 512.
%
% 'minimum' Calculates a minimum phase filter. This is the default.
%
% 'zero' returns a filter with zero phase. Since Matlab shifts the
% symmetric impulse response due to no negative indices.
% This results in a linear phase and hence a delay in the
% signal chain.
%
% 'lopezpoveda2001' Use data from Lopez-Poveda and Meddis (2001). These
% data are in turn derived from Goode et al. (1994).
% This is the default.
%
% 'jepsen2008' Use the data originally used in the Jepsen et al. (2008).
%
% 'verhulst2012' IIR filter approximating the middle ear transfer function
% based on Puria2003 (M1 filter) as used by Verhulst 2012.
%
% 'verhulst2015' IIR filter approximating the middle ear transfer function
% based on Puria2003 (M1 filter) as used by Verhulst 2015.
%
% 'verhulst2018' IIR filter approximating the middle ear transfer function
% based on Puria2003 (M1 filter) as used by Verhulst 2018.
%
% 'zilany2009' Second-order cascade IIR filters approximating the
% middle ear transfer function described by Ibrahim
% (2012, Appendix).
%
% 'zilany2009cat' Second-order cascade IIR filters approximating the
% middle ear transfer function described by Zilany et al.
% (2006, their Eq. 1--3)
%
% MIDDLEEARFILTER without any input arguments returns a table describing
% the frequency response of the middle ear filter. First column of the
% table contain frequencies and the second column contains the amplitude
% (stapes peak velocity in m/s at 0dB SPL) of the frequency like in figure
% 2b) of Lopez-Poveda and Meddis (2001).
%
% MIDDLEEARFILTER is meant to be used in conjunction with the LOPEZPOVEDA2001
% function, as the output is scaled to make lopezpoveda2001 work. If you are not
% using the lopezpoveda2001, you probably do not want to call this function. The
% following code displays the magnitude response of the filter:
%
% fs=16000;
% x=erbspace(0,fs/2,100);
% b=middleearfilter(fs);
% H=freqz(b,1,x,fs);
% semiaudplot(x,10*log10(abs(H).^2));
% xlabel('Frequency (Hz)');
% ylabel('Magnitude (dB)');
