| | [music-dsp] Bilinear Transform (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | If you mean the impulse invariance method of filter design, it is not usually used because it is more difficult to compute than the bilinear transform and the frequency response will alias. |
 | | Higher order versions of the bilinear transform (s = A(z)/B(z), A, B polynomials) are not used because either stability is not preserved or the mapping of the frequency axis to the unit circle is not 1 to 1. |
 | | Pre-warping basically means choosing your cutoff frequency or other characteristic frequencies in the z domain, transferring them to the s domain using one direction of the bilinear transform, using them in your filter formulas to design your s domain filter, then transforming that back to the z-domain. |
