A-Weighting VerilogA Model

Does anyone out there have an A-Weighting filter model in VerilogA?

What do you mean by "A-Weighting filter" ?
Is it "Moving Average Filter" ?

Pancho,

  A-weighting is a spectral mask for sound pressure from the IEC.
Basically, the limitations of human sensitivity to sound can be used
in calculation of a audio converters "goodness", for example, SINAD.

Keplin,

  Do you need a Verilog-A model? I thought that A-weighting could
be treated like filtering, that is, just multiplying the frequency
domain response. So the A-weighting can just be done during
post-processing, in Calculator.

                                                         Best Regards,

                                                             Sheldon

Sheldon, thanks for information.

Expression as s-domain transfer function of A-weighting filter is described in the following.
So you can easily implement it as Verilog-A module.

Sheldon,

  Yes I could do it in the calculator, but I would rather simulate with a Verilog-A model so that I can analyze the simulation output directly.

  I am not very savvy at Verilog-A and am just trying to save time converting the s-domain model to a time domain model for Verilog-A by seeing if anyone out there has something already implemented.

  Thanks,

  Keplin

It should be relatively easy to take the s-domain transfer function on the wikipedia page that Pancho referenced, multiply out the denominator and then use the laplace_nd function in VerilogA to represent it.

I'll leave that as an exercise for you (assuming you've not already done it!)

Regards,

Andrew.
