For me an s-filter has an predictable phase response (but 'tied' to the amplitude response) so I read it as philblack would like to keep the ampitude response as is but change the phase response. but maybe he's got other reasons to use a fir.

Why would you want/need to alter the phase?

Do an ifft on the magnitude of the frequency response -- you'll get back the coefficients for your FIR. It'll be long, though -- you may be better off just designing a new one from the requirements for the original, if you can reverse-engineer them from the current response. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com

Probably not the best but if you get the impulse response of the filter you could fft it, alter the phase and ifft it.

Anyone,

What is the best method to convert a analog filter design to a FIR
filter design? Lets say I have the tranfer function in the S domain
of a analog filter and I want to design a FIR filter with the same
freq response. I know there are many ways to do this for IIR filters
but I would like a more predictable phase response.
