# besself

Create a Bessel filter.

## Syntax

[b,a] = besself(n,Wp)

[b,a] = besself(n,Wp,band)

[b,a] = besself(n,Wp,domain)

[b,a] = besself(n,Wp,band,domain)

## Inputs

n
The filter order.
Type: integer
Dimension: scalar
Wp
A scalar specifying the frequency band of a low or high pass filter, or a two element vector specifying the band of a bandpass or bandstop filter. For a digital filter, the values (in Hz) are normalized relative to the Nyquist frequency. For an analog filter, the values are in radians/sec. See the Comments below.
Type: double
Dimension: scalar | vector
band
The band type of the filter. Omit for low pass or bandpass. Use 'high' for high pass, and 'stop' for bandstop.
Type: string
domain
• Use 'z' for digital filters (default).
• Use 's' for analog filters.

## Outputs

b
The numerator polynomial coefficients of the filter.
Type: vector
a
The denominator polynomial coefficients of the filter.
Type: vector

## Example

Create a fourth order Bessel low pass digital filter with a 300 Hz cutoff frequency and a 1000 Hz sampling frequency.
