The transfer function of Elliptic filters contain both poles and zeros. Similar to the Chebyshev Type-I filter, the poles are Elliptic low-pass filter are located inside the unit circle. In addition to its poles, the Elliptic filter also has zeros in its transfer function, and are located on the axis. Note that for even filter orders, the number of finite zeros are equal to the number of poles. However, for odd orders, the number of finite zeros are one less than the number of poles, i.e. one zero is at infinity. This unique combination of poles and zeros results in (1) a transition band shorter than any other filter of the same order, and (2) the poorest phase response relative to the Butterworth and Chebyshev filters.

The Elliptic filter is sometimes called the Cauer filter or the Zolotarev filter.

The Low-Pass Elliptic Filter

The magnitude response of the low-pass Elliptic filter is given by:
