Hi Uli,
have you solved the RLB filter problem in between?
It looks as if the a coefficients have exactly the values they should
have if they were not normalized to b0.
Cheers,
Thomas

Hi,
I'm wondering about the RLB filter coefficients of ITU1770. They are
clearly specified for a samplerate of 48 kHz.
For other samplerates ITU expects the same shape of curve.
So for computing the coefficients for other samplerates of course a
good way is to reconstruct a IIR filter from the given coefficients.
An example can be found at
http://www-public.tu-bs.de:8080/~y0035293/ITU-R-BS.1770-1-filters.pdf
The method decribed here works very well for the prefilter.
But it seems that the RLB filter cannot perfectly be described by a
biquad IIR filter.
You can simply check this: ITU1770 defines the coefficient values
a0 = 1, b0 = 1, b1 = -2 and b2 = 1
Indeed the parameters high-pass gain factor Vh = 1, band-pass gain
factor Vb = 0 and low-pass gain factor Vl = 0 fit to the equations for
b0, b1 and b2.
But the equation
a0 = 1 = 1 + K/Q + K^2 requires that
K^2 = -K/Q
With K <> 0 (K=0 would not make sense, fc would be 0) we get
K = -1/Q
but a negative value for K also does not make sense.
Indeed using the data Vh, Vb, Vl, Q, Omega=K as published do not
exactly lead to the published filter coefficients, we get deviations
of up to 0.5%.
You may check out by yourself the formulas of the Audio EQ Cookbook.
You will step into the same problem.
So IMO the given RLB filter cannot be described by a biquad IIR filter
under aspects of perfect accuracy.
is this a weighting curve that's supposed to fit human hearing data like
the fletcher-munson curves?
Which IIR filter will exactly fulfill the conditions specified by the
ITU 1770 RLB filter coefficients?

i have no idea what an RLB is or what it does, but these two URLs
suggest something like:
[a0 a1 a2] = [1 -1.99004745483398, 0.99007225036621];
[b0 b1 b2] = [1 -2 1];
and something else for a "pre-filter".

dunno what they're supposed to fit, though.
