Every
physically realizable circuit has a transfer function
|
|
|
|
that
is a rational polynomial in s
|
|
|
|
We
want to determine classes of rational polynomials that
|
|
|
|
approximate
the Ideal low-pass filter response (high-pass
|
|
|
band-pass
and band-stop filters can be derived from a low pass design)
|
|
|

well known approximations are discussed here:
