Complete BR Filter Design
Dr. Sean Carroll, Digital Signal Processing II
Tri-State University, Angola, IN

Comments? Add or View (6) submitted: September 8, 2004

This type of filter is also known as a Band-Stop (BS) filter, which is in fact what the prof been calling them up until this point...the terminology change came about when another prof picked up the (pre-White-out) original off the copier, read the title and burst out laughing...
