2. Signal filter (pt1 and pt1pt1: non-causal, in MATLAB called filtfilt)
To explain the difference between normal pt1-filter and a non causal pt1-filter, two copies are made from signal 3 >> signal 4 and 5
-
Signal 4 ist filtered with pt1 filter of 200ms (like a RC filter,
resistor and capacitor)
-
Signal 5 ist filtered twice (200ms); from start to end of protocol and from end to
start; it is a non-causal filter!
Advantage: there is no phase shift to the original signal; ideal for subsequent documentation or a better view of noisy signals
In the example you will see at point 894s, that the signal 4 has a phase shift of 200ms and signal 5 is congruent at this point.
