B
Bessel filter a filter with a maximally flat response in both magnitude and phase. The
phase response in the passband, which is usually the region of interest, is
nearly linear. Bessel filters reduce nonlinear phase distortion inherent in
all IIR filters.
bipolar a signal range that includes both positive and negative values
