Running FilterAid0.1b:
Filter-Aid0.1b is a filter design simulator developed at the University of
Texas at Austin to automate IIR filter design on the Internet. It is
capable of plotting the magnitude, phase, and step responses
for a given set of user-inputted filter conditions. For more information concerning the
input conditions and filter simulation consult the following resource:
An Automated Framework for Multicriteria Optimization of Analog Filter Designs
by N. Damera-Venkata and B. L. Evans in IEEE Transactions on Circuits and
Systems II: Analog and Digital Signal Processing.
It is capable of automated simulation of the following five combinations of poles and zeroes:
4poles 0 zeroes
4poles 2 zeroes
4poles 4 zeroes
6poles 6 zeroes
8poles 8 zeroes
The graphical user interface of the applet uses Java's swing windowing
package so requires a Java compatible browser
with the appropriate swing plug-in. The filter simulator
will run under any Java 2-enabled browser. Otherwise,
you will be automatically pointed to a URL for the Java Plug-in
installer. If Java 2 support is enabled, then you should see a button

the next line:
