title: The design of digital filters for biomedical signal processing. Part 2: Design techniques using the z-plane.
abstract: Design methods for digital filters using z-plane techniques are developed out of the basic concepts described in part 1. The relationship between impulse response shape and side lobe generation in the frequency response is investigated by means of rectangular, triangular and cosine window filters. The limited choice of cut-off frequencies available for simple linear phase digital filters is explained. Design direct from the frequency domain is summarized. z-plane techniques for the design of high- and band-pass digital filters and the digital equivalents of analogue filters are described. s-plane to z-plane mapping by means of the Bilinear transformation is compared to the direct z-transform method of filter design.
