Outline

In this appendix, we will look at a variety of ways to digitize macroscopic point-to-point transfer functions corresponding to a desired impulse response :

1. Sampling to get
2. Pole mapping ( followed by Prony's method)
3. Frequency-response matching using digital filter design methods
4. Modal analysis
