A MATLAB Coder compatible filter function, capable of 2nd order high, low, and bandpass filters and their combinations.

I often use MATLAB coder to speed up simulations. A generic filtering function can be useful in these simulations, but MATLAB's filter design functions (specifically butter()) do not support code generation. For this reason I built my own quick-and-easy 2nd order, cascadable filter.
- Only designed for 1D signals.
- Not all filters possible with a biquad are included, only high/low/bandpass.
coderFilter(x, fs, fc, Q, type)
Input signal x and it's sample rate fs form the first two arguments of the filter, followed by the cutoff frequency fc in hertz, Q and the type of filter ('high','low','band').
To cascade multiple 2nd order sections, simply add additional entries to the arguments fc, Q, and type. These must each be the same length.
The following amplitude responses were generated with the testbench file coderFilter_testbench.mat. The first plot shows the cascading of several 2nd order sections, performed within coderFilter() using cascadeSSM(). The second is a bandpass filter consisting of a highpass filter at 10 Hz and a lowpass filter at 1 kHz, both with different Q values.
