   <title>Description</title>
   <para>
Transform a s-plane filter specification into a z-plane specification.  Filters can be specified in either zero-pole-gain or transfer function form.  The input form does not have to match the output form.  1/T is the sampling frequency represented in the z plane.
   </para>
   <para>
Note: this differs from the bilinear function in the signal processing toolbox, which uses 1/T rather than T.
   </para>
   <para>
Theory: Given a piecewise flat filter design, you can transform it from the s-plane to the z-plane while maintaining the band edges by means of the bilinear transform. This maps the left hand side of the s-plane into the interior of the unit circle. The mapping is highly non-linear, so you must design your filter with band edges in the s-plane positioned at 2/T tan(w*T/2) so that they will be positioned at w after the bilinear transform is complete.
