Abstract
A method based on approximating the squared-magnitude function in the bilinear-transformed domain is presented for the simplification of z-transfer functions. In order to guarantee that the initial output response of the simplified model is the same as that of the original system, the bilinear transformation is performed on the numerator and the denominator polynomials or the z-transfer function itself. The main advantage of the method is that it may give a satisfactory approximation while preserving the stability and minimum-phase characteristics.
