Convert digital specifications into the analog domain, by prewarping digital frequency specifications into analog frequencies. w_a = (2/T)tan(wT/2) 2. Use an analog filter design technique to design the filter. 3. Use the bilinear transformation to convert the analog filter design to a digital filter design.
