# Out of memory problem with filter design tool in Matlab [closed]

I have a set of data in excel like this:

column A is time in ns and column B is the electric field strength. now I want to convert the time-domain signal from these data to a frequency-domain signal with DSP toolbox in matlab.

to calculate Fs (sampling frequency) in order to use in signal analyse i use this formula:

time = T(:,1);
L=2033;
Ts = mean(diff(time));
Fs = 1/Ts;


which leads to :

Fs= 5e+09


then I import the signal (E) with sampling frequency Fs in signal analyze toolbox. my signal is like this:

now i want to apply a bandpass filter in 16-32 MHZ range , so :

I've increased the paging file to maximum on my system with no success! I should say that my system configuration is like this:

i5 CPU at 2.5 GHz

8 GB R3 Ram at 1600 MHz

I have two specific questions:

1- what should I do? Is there any thing that I should do to to be able to design the filter on my system?

2- if I change the time to second and the frequency to hz , how much does the results change?

• This question appears to be off-topic because it is about configuring the software – jonsca Oct 27 '13 at 4:51

• @MohammadSobbouhi: I'm not entirely sure what you are asking. There are a handful of ways that you can use the filter that you just designed. One way is to export the filter coefficients to the workspace. If you saved the coefficients in a variable named coef, you could apply it to a signal x with y = filter(coef,1,x). If you need additional help, I suggest you post a new question. – nispio Oct 25 '13 at 22:53
