you specify a filter order. The other available parameters depend on the filter 
type and band configuration, as shown in the table below. 
where:
For all of the analog filter designs, frequency parameters are in units of radians 
per second. 
The block uses a state-space filter representation, and applies the filter using 
the State-Space block in the Simulink Continuous library. All of the design 
methods use Signal Processing Toolbox functions to design the filter:
•The Butterworth design uses the toolbox function 
butter. 
•The Chebyshev type I design uses the toolbox function 
cheby1.
•The Chebyshev type II design uses the toolbox function 
cheby2.
•The elliptic design uses the toolbox function 
ellip.
The Analog Filter Design block is built on the filter design capabilities of the 
Signal Processing Toolbox. For more information on the filter design 
algorithms, see the Filter Designs section of the Signal Processing Toolbox 
documentation.
