Software Implementation of Digital Filtering via Tustin's Bilinear Transform

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to provide some notes on a software implementation for digital filtering via Tustins Bilinear Transform. The first section discusses how to solve for the input and output coefficients by hand using a generalized approach called Horners method. The second section presents some results of this generalized digital filtering approach using the IHMC Open Robotics Software stack and Simulation Construction Set 2. This generalized approach can solve for the digital coefficients for any causal transfer function.Comment: 16 page
