HEADPHONEFILTER - Combined headphone and outer ear filter

Program code:

function b = headphonefilter(fs,order)
%HEADPHONEFILTER  Combined headphone and outer ear filter
%   Usage:  b=headphonefilter(fs,order);
%           b=headphonefilter(fs);
%           b=headphonefilter;
%
%   HEADPHONEFILTER(fs,order) computes the filter coefficients of a FIR
%   filter or order order approximating the combined effect of headphones
%   and the outer ear. The data describes a generic set of headphones,
%   originally from Pralong et al. (1996)
%
%   HEADPHONEFILTER(fs) does the same with a FIR filter of order 512.
%
%   HEADPHONEFILTER without any input arguments returns a table
%   describing the frequency response of the headphone filter. First
%   column of the table contain frequencies and the second column
%   contains the amplitude of the frequency.
%
%   The following code displays the magnitude response of the filter:
%
%     fs=16000;
%     x=erbspace(0,fs/2,100);
%     b=headphonefilter(fs);
%     H=freqz(b,1,x,fs);
%     semiaudplot(x,10*log10(abs(H).^2));
%     xlabel('Frequency (Hz)');
%     ylabel('Magnitude (dB)');
