Spectral Matching: Select a transfer function that matches
a desired steady-state spectrum for a particular distortion index .
This may be done using Chebyshev polynomials of the first
kind, denoted , where
is the order of the polynomial.

These polynomials have the property that when a sinusoid
of unit amplitude is applied to the input, the output signal contains
only the
harmonic.
