Digital Low-Pass Filter Design with Analog-Matched Magnitude Response

Authors: Massberg, Michael

AES Convention 131 · Paper 8551 · October 2011

Abstract

Using the bilinear transform to derive digital low-pass filters from their analog prototypes introduces severe warping of the response once the cutoff frequency approaches the Nyquist limit. We show how to design pre- warped first and second order low-pass prototypes that, after application of the bilinear transform, provide a better match with the magnitude response of the analog original than applying the bilinear transform directly. Result plots are given and compared for different cutoff frequencies and Q factors.
