Hi,
can anyone explain briefly the advantage of chebyshev filter over butterworth or other time domain filtering technique. All i know is chebysehv has better attenuation in pass band than the butterworth while it has ripples in stop band on the down side.

Thanks in advabnce.

The different filters have *different* properties, not
'better' or 'worse'. The Chebychev filter of obtains a
steeper roll-off than a Butterworth filter of the same
order, which means the digital version of the Chebychev
requires less computational load, or the analog version
fewer components than the Butterworth. This cheaper or
simpler filter does not come for free, as the frequency
response contains ripples. Which may or may not be a
problem.

So it is up to you, as designer, to determine what is
more important: Smooth frequency response or simple/cheap
filter. And then choose what filter type to use.

Similar arguments and trade-offs apply to all the different
filter types.
