The Goertzel algorithm is a technique in digital signal processing (DSP) for efficient evaluation of the individual terms of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). It is useful in certain practical applications, such as recognition of dual-tone multi-frequency signaling (DTMF) tones produced by the push buttons of the keypad of a traditional analog telephone . The algorithm was first described by Gerald Goertzel in 1958.

The case of real-valued input data arises frequently, especially in embedded systems where the input streams result from direct measurements of physical processes. When the input data are real-valued, the filter internal state variables sprev and sprev2 can be observed also to be real-valued, consequently, no complex arithmetic

324-484: A digital IIR filter is to perform z-transform on the analog signal that has been sampled and converted to T(s) by Laplace, which is usually simplified to Pay attention to the fact that there is a multiplier T appearing in the formula. This is because even if the Laplace transform and z-transform for the unit pulse are 1, the pulse itself is not necessarily the same. For analog signals, the pulse has an infinite value but

All of the a i {\displaystyle a_{i}} coefficients with i > 0 {\displaystyle i>0} (feedback terms) are zero and the filter has no finite poles . The transfer functions pertaining to IIR analog electronic filters have been extensively studied and optimized for their amplitude and phase characteristics. These continuous-time filter functions are described in
432-415: A particular frequency response requirement. This is particularly true when the requirement is not one of the usual cases (high-pass, low-pass, notch, etc.) which have been studied and optimized for analog filters. Also FIR filters can be easily made to be linear phase (constant group delay vs frequency)—a property that is not easily met using IIR filters and then only as an approximation (for instance with
486-428: A set of specifications can be accomplished with a lower order ( Q in the above formulae) IIR filter than would be required for an FIR filter meeting the same requirements. If implemented in a signal processor, this implies a correspondingly fewer number of calculations per time step; the computational savings is often of a rather large factor. On the other hand, FIR filters can be easier to design, for instance, to match

702-1194: Is a better approximation for any input than the impulse invariant. Step invariant solves the problem of the same sample values when T(z) and T(s) are both step inputs. The input to the digital filter is u(n), and the input to the analog filter is u(t). Apply z-transform and Laplace transform on these two inputs to obtain the converted output signal.

756-735: Is a property applying to many linear time-invariant systems that are distinguished by having an impulse response h ( t ) {\displaystyle h(t)} that does not become exactly zero past a certain point but continues indefinitely. This is in contrast to a finite impulse response (FIR) system, in which the impulse response does become exactly zero at times t > T {\displaystyle t>T} for some finite T {\displaystyle T} , thus being of finite duration. Common examples of linear time-invariant systems are most electronic and digital filters . Systems with this property are known as IIR systems or IIR filters . In practice,

972-516: Is often restricted to the range 0 to π (see Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem ); using a value outside this range is not meaningless, but is equivalent to using an aliased frequency inside this range, since the exponential function is periodic with a period of 2π in ω 0 {\displaystyle \omega _{0}} . The second-stage filter can be observed to be a FIR filter , since its calculations do not use any of its past outputs. Z-transform methods can be applied to study
1026-595: Is required in the first IIR stage. Optimizing for real-valued arithmetic typically is as simple as applying appropriate real-valued data types for the variables. After the calculations using input term x [ N − 1 ] {\displaystyle x[N-1]} , and filter iterations are terminated, equation (11) must be applied to evaluate the DFT term. The final calculation uses complex-valued arithmetic, but this can be converted into real-valued arithmetic by separating real and imaginary terms: Comparing to

The main advantage digital IIR filters have over FIR filters is their efficiency in implementation, in order to meet a specification in terms of passband, stopband, ripple, and/or roll-off. Such
1134-434: Is the simplest IIR filter design method. It is the most accurate at low frequencies, so it is usually used in low-pass filters. For Laplace transform or z-transform, the output after the transformation is just the input multiplied by the corresponding transformation function, T(s) or T(z). Y(s) and Y(z) are the converted output of input X(s) and input X(z), respectively. When applying the Laplace transform or z-transform on

#17327840111441188-497: Is used for calculating the DFT, so calculations for all the other output terms are omitted. Since the FIR filter is not calculated, the IIR stage calculations s [ 0 ] , s [ 1 ] {\displaystyle s[0],s[1]} , etc. can be discarded immediately after updating the first stage's internal state. This seems to leave a paradox: to complete the algorithm,

Impulse invariance is a technique for designing discrete-time infinite-impulse-response (IIR) filters from continuous-time filters in which the impulse response of the continuous-time system is sampled to produce the impulse response of
1296-570: The Laplace domain . Desired solutions can be transferred to the case of discrete-time filters whose transfer functions are expressed in the z domain, through the use of certain mathematical techniques such as the bilinear transform , impulse invariance , or pole–zero matching method . Thus digital IIR filters can be based on well-known solutions for analog filters such as the Chebyshev filter , Butterworth filter , and elliptic filter , inheriting

Nterms is the number of samples in the array, and Kterm corresponds to the frequency of interest, multiplied by the sampling period. It is possible to organise the computations so that incoming samples are delivered singly to
1458-410: The FIR filter stage must be evaluated once using the final two outputs from the IIR filter stage, while for computational efficiency the IIR filter iteration discards its output values. This is where the properties of the direct-form filter structure are applied. The two internal state variables of the IIR filter provide the last two values of the IIR filter output, which are the terms required to evaluate
1512-616: The FIR filter stage. Examining equation (6), a final IIR filter pass to calculate term y [ N ] {\displaystyle y[N]} using a supplemental input value x [ N ] = 0 {\displaystyle x[N]=0} applies a complex multiplier of magnitude 1 to the previous term y [ N − 1 ] {\displaystyle y[N-1]} . Consequently, y [ N ] {\displaystyle y[N]} and y [ N − 1 ] {\displaystyle y[N-1]} represent equivalent signal power. It
1566-514: The Goertzel algorithm has a higher order of complexity than fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms, but for computing a small number of selected frequency components, it is more numerically efficient. The simple structure of the Goertzel algorithm makes it well suited to small processors and embedded applications. The Goertzel algorithm can also be used "in reverse" as a sinusoid synthesis function, which requires only 1 multiplication and 1 subtraction per generated sample. The main calculation in
1620-576: The Goertzel algorithm has the form of a digital filter , and for this reason the algorithm is often called a Goertzel filter . The filter operates on an input sequence x [ n ] {\displaystyle x[n]} in a cascade of two stages with a parameter ω 0 {\displaystyle \omega _{0}} , giving the frequency to be analysed, normalised to radians per sample. The first stage calculates an intermediate sequence, s [ n ] {\displaystyle s[n]} : The second stage applies
1674-420: The analog filter is y(t), which is the inverse Laplace transform of Y(s). If sampled every T seconds, it is y(n), which is the inverse conversion of Y(z).These signals are used to solve for the digital filter and the analog filter and have the same output at the sampling time. The following equation points out the solution of T(z), which is the approximate formula for the analog filter. The bilinear transform

1728-461: The area is 1 at t=0, but it is 1 at the discrete-time pulse t=0, so the existence of a multiplier T is required. Step invariance is a better design method than impulse invariant. The digital filter has several segments of input with different constants when sampling, which is composed of discrete steps. The step invariant IIR filter is less accurate than the same input step signal to the ADC. However, it

Digital filters are often described and implemented in terms of the difference equation that defines how the output signal is related to the input signal: where: A more condensed form of the difference equation is: To find the transfer function of the filter, we first take the Z-transform of each side of the above equation to obtain: After rearranging: We then define

Some FFT implementations perform internal complex-number calculations to generate coefficients on-the-fly, significantly increasing their "cost K per unit of work." FFT and DFT algorithms can use tables of pre-computed coefficient values for better numerical efficiency, but this requires more accesses to coefficient values buffered in external memory, which can lead to increased cache contention that counters some of
1890-417: The discrete-time domain. The bilinear transform is a first-order approximation of the natural logarithm function that is an exact mapping of the z -plane to the s -plane. When the Laplace transform is performed on a discrete-time signal (with each element of the discrete-time sequence attached to a correspondingly delayed unit impulse), the result is precisely the Z transform of the discrete-time sequence with
1944-534: The discrete-time system. Impulse invariance is one of the commonly used methods to meet the two basic requirements of the mapping from the s-plane to the z-plane. This is obtained by solving the T(z) that has the same output value at the same sampling time as the analog filter, and it is only applicable when the inputs are in a pulse. Note that all inputs of the digital filter generated by this method are approximate values, except for pulse inputs that are very accurate. This

Although almost all analog electronic filters are IIR, digital filters may be either IIR or FIR.

2268-400: The impulse response, even of IIR systems, usually approaches zero and can be neglected past a certain point. However the physical systems which give rise to IIR or FIR responses are dissimilar, and therein lies the importance of the distinction. For instance, analog electronic filters composed of resistors, capacitors, and/or inductors (and perhaps linear amplifiers) are generally IIR filters. On

Since complex signals decompose linearly into real and imaginary parts, the Goertzel algorithm can be computed in real arithmetic separately over the sequence of real parts, yielding y r [ n ] {\displaystyle y_{\text{r}}[n]} , and over the sequence of imaginary parts, yielding y i [ n ] {\displaystyle y_{\text{i}}[n]} . After that,

Let the transfer function H ( z ) {\displaystyle H(z)} of
2538-432: The other hand, discrete-time filters (usually digital filters) based on a tapped delay line employing no feedback are necessarily FIR filters. The capacitors (or inductors) in the analog filter have a "memory" and their internal state never completely relaxes following an impulse (assuming the classical model of capacitors and inductors where quantum effects are ignored). But in the latter case, after an impulse has reached
