The bilinear transform in digital signal processing takes a transfer function in the analog domain ([Laplace transform]?) and transforms it to the digital or z-domain. This transform preserves stability. |

The bilinear transform in digital signal processing takes a transfer function H(s) in the analog domain ([Laplace transform]?) and transforms it to the digital or z-domain, to obtain a function H(z). This transform preserves stability and is computed by substituting |
|
s = (2/T) * ((1 - z) / (1 + z)) |
|
s = (2 / T) * ((1 - z) / (1 + z)) |

An analog filter is stable is stable if the poles of its transfer function fall in the negative real half of the complex plane. A digital filter is stable if the poles of its transfer function fall inside the unit circle in the complex plane. The bilinear transform maps the negative real half of the complex plane to the interior of the unit circle. This way, filters designed in the the analog domain can be easily converted to the digital domain while preserving the stability of the filters. |
