Analog Prototype Filter

Since the digital cut-off frequency may be set to any value, irrespective of the analog cut-off frequency, it is convenient to set the analog cut-off frequency to . In this case, the bilinear-transform constant is simply set to

when carrying out mapping Eq.(I.9) to convert the analog prototype to a digital filter with cut-off at frequency .
