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. 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:

 

 

 

 

(1)

Where is the filter order, is the cut-off frequency, is the ripple factor with ripple in dB, is the selectivity factor that determines the stopband attenuation equal to, , and is the elliptic (or Chebyshev) rational function.
