Question
Hi, i designed a filter using : d1=designfilt('lowpassfir','PassbandFrequency',0.45,'StopbandFrequency',0.5,'PassbandRipple',3,'StopbandAttenuation',60,'DesignMethod','equiripple'); When i tried to use fdatool to get the filter coefficient i need to put the filter order but i don't know how to calculate it . can anyone tell me please?

There is a way to calculate the order necessary for IIR filters, since they have both numerator and denominator polynomials, but not for FIR filters, with only numerator polynomials. With FIR filters, I usually begin with a filter order of 24, then use freqz to test it, and increase the length until I get the result I want. The window you choose will affect the filter passband shape.
