Constant group delay approximation by series of Bessel polynomials

The transfer function obtained from the tuncated expansion of exp(p) in series of Bessel polynomials yield an approximation of the ideal filter. Thanks to a freely chosen parameter, it is possible to control the compromise between optimal amplitude and phase or between the rise time and the overshoot of the step response. Compared to the classical Thomson characteristic, which is linked to a single Bessel polynomial, the delay deviation in the passband is smaller.
