Now, to be 'constructive', the correct way to compute c
would be
f = cutoff_frequency / sample_rate;
a = 2 * (1 - cos (2 * pi * f);
c = (sqrt (a * (a + 4)) - a) / 2;
A good approximation (less than 1% relative error)
for 0 <= f <= 0.5 could be
c = 2 * pi * f * (1 + f * (3.45f + 4.27f * f));
Can you explain how you get there, in terms that a 35-years-ago Straight-Cs highschool
maths student might understand?
I know how algebra works and kind of how to make calculus work, and enough DSP to be
dangerous, but that's about it.
