besselap#
- scipy.signal.besselap(N, norm='phase')[source]#
- Return (z,p,k) for analog prototype of an Nth-order Bessel filter. - Parameters:
- Nint
- The order of the filter. 
- norm{‘phase’, ‘delay’, ‘mag’}, optional
- Frequency normalization: - phase
- The filter is normalized such that the phase response reaches its midpoint at an angular (e.g., rad/s) cutoff frequency of 1. This happens for both low-pass and high-pass filters, so this is the “phase-matched” case. [6] - The magnitude response asymptotes are the same as a Butterworth filter of the same order with a cutoff of Wn. - This is the default, and matches MATLAB’s implementation. 
- delay
- The filter is normalized such that the group delay in the passband is 1 (e.g., 1 second). This is the “natural” type obtained by solving Bessel polynomials 
- mag
- The filter is normalized such that the gain magnitude is -3 dB at angular frequency 1. This is called “frequency normalization” by Bond. [1] 
 - Added in version 0.18.0. 
 
- Returns:
- zndarray
- Zeros of the transfer function. Is always an empty array. 
- pndarray
- Poles of the transfer function. 
- kscalar
- Gain of the transfer function. For phase-normalized, this is always 1.

 - Notes - To find the pole locations, approximate starting points are generated [2] for the zeros of the ordinary Bessel polynomial [3], then the Aberth-Ehrlich method [4] [5] is used on the Kv(x) Bessel function to calculate more accurate zeros, and these locations are then inverted about the unit circle. - References [1]- C.R.
