[SciPy-user] normalized frequencies to pi radians / sample

[Forrest Sheng Bao]

Hi,

I am trying to use buttord function to compute the order and frequency of a
Butterworth filter.

But I got confused about the passband and stopband edge frequency. According
to the doc,

      wp, ws -- Passband and stopband edge frequencies, normalized from 0
                to 1 (1 corresponds to pi radians / 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]

I should normalize the frequency to pi radians / sample. Now, suppose a
frequency 10Hz and my sampling rate is 100 Hz. Is the normalized frequency
0.1?

Thanks,
Forrest
