                        natural  cutoff  Bessel  response for comparison. The frequency at  which  3dB
                        attenuation  occurs in  the  natural  Bessel  response  is  2.42  times  that  of  the
                        modified response, which is designed to give a 3dB cutoff point at 1 rad/s.

                        The  constant  factors  for  all  filter  orders  up  to  ten  are  given  in  Table  2.1.
                        The  values given were  found by  practical experiment and  are approximately
                        4(2n -1).ln2,  where n is the filter order.
