Pulse shaping filter program that finds the pole-zero locations of a transfer function, H(s), for a matched filter.

H(s) equals a -desired- signal (Yout) divided by a given input signal (Yin).

Both Yout and Yin are functions of frequency. Group delay may also be calculated to compliment a given data set, thus, providing a flat group delay.Minimizing Intersymbol Interference in a read/write channel for disc drives by shaping and slimming an isolated readback pulse was the main objective for writing this program.
