Do you mean, given a digital Bessel filter (there are few reasons to want one), how can one determine the analog prototype from which it was derived?

hi! Jerry,
am trying to derive a digital filter from its analog prototype...
let me know if u have any leads....
thanks

Why do you want to do that? It isn't usually worth it. We use analog Bessel Filters for their nearly constant group delay in the pass band, sacrificing amplitude response to achieve it. Symmetric FIRs have perfectly constant group delay and are relatively simple to design, so why compromise? When an FIR filter is derived from an analog Bessel prototype, the performance is usually disapointing. The amplitude sacrifices still mar its performance and its phase response is poorer than the prototypes. Unless this is a homework assignment or an assignment from a boss you can't reason with, do something more sensible.

As noted above, usually, you only design IIR filters from analog prototypes, not FIR. If the OP is constrained to using an IIR (e.g. by available processing power, need to adjust on the fly, etc.) but still wants "good" phase properties, then an IIR Bessel filter designed from an analog prototype might be the answer. I have also heard that the digital version loses some of the desirable phase/group delay characteristics of the analog prototype, but I believe it's still better than e.g. Butterworth in that respect.______________________________
