                  Time Domain Response of
                  Highpass Filters with Step Input                           TIME



                        The simple lowpass and highpass filter examples given are simply to illustrate a
                        point: that time domain and frequency domain responses are related. Generally,
                        filter designers do not need to consider the time domain's step response.
                        Table 3.1, which follows, contains Laplace Transforms that may be useful.

                  Pole and Zero  locations

                        Butterworth Poles
                        As briefly described above, the poles of  the Butterworth response all lie on the
                        unit circle; because of this they are the easiest to find out of all the filter designs.
