A Bessel Filter Crossover, and Its Relation to Others |
 | | The Bessel filter uses a p(s) which is a Bessel polynomial, but the filter is more properly called a Thomson filter, after one of its developers [7]. |
 | | Bessel low-pass filters have maximally flat group delay about 0 Hz [9], so the phase response is approximately linear in the passband, while at higher frequencies the linearity degrades, and the group delay drops to zero (see Fig. |
 | | Bessel polynomials of degree three or higher are not inherently symmetric, but may be normalized to be nearly symmetric by requiring a phase shift at the design frequency of 45 degrees per order, negative for the low-pass, positive for the high-pass. |
