1 Operational Amplifiers Continuing the discussion of Op Amps, the next step is filters. There are many different types of filters, including low pass, high pass and band pass. We will discuss each of the following filters in turn and how they are used and constructed using Op Amps. When a filter contains a device like an Op Amp they are called active filters. These active filters differ from passive filters (simple RC circuits) by the fact that there is the ability for gain depending on the configuration of the elements in the circuit. There are some problems encountered in active filters that need to be overcome. The first is that there is still a gain bandwidth limitation that arises. The second is the bandwidth in general. In a high pass filter there is going to be high frequency roll off due to the limitations of the Op Amp used. This is very hard to overcome with conventional op amps. The mathematical operations discussed in the previous lab (the integrator and differentiator) are both types of active filters. As for now, the discussion will focus mainly on the low pass (LP), high pass (HP) and band pass (BP) filters. There is also a band stop filter that can be created from the band pass filter with a simple change of components. Low Pass Filters The low pass filter is one that allows low frequencies and stops (attenuates) higher frequencies, hence the name. The design of a low pass filter needs to take into consideration the maximum frequency that would need to be allowed through. This is called the cut off frequency (or the 3 db down frequency). Based on the type of filter that is used (e.g. Butterworth, Bessel, Tschebyscheff) the attenuation of the higher frequencies can be greater. This attenuation is also based on the order (e.g. 1 st, 2 nd, 3 rd ) of the filter that is used. Based on the order of the filter the rolloff of the filter can be calculated using the formula n*20 db/decade. This means that a first order low pass filter has an attenuation of -20 db/decade, while a second order filter should have -40 db/decade rolloff and on down the list for higher orders. Shown in Figure 1 is the basic active 1 st order low pass filter (in the non-inverting configuration) with unity gain. Figure 1: Basic 1st Order Bessel LP Filter in the Non-Inverting Configuration with Unity Gain

2 The equation in (1) is used to calculate the value of the capacitor needed based on a chosen value for cutoff frequency and R 1 (or vice versa if a value for C 1 and a cutoff frequency are chosen then the value of R 1 can be found). There is unity gain in this configuration because of the non-inverting properties of the Op Amp. To change the gain, the feedback network must be changed to include two other resistors (R 2 and R 3 ). The gain is then found to be 1 + R 3 /R 2 because of the noninverting configuration. The circuit with a non-unity gain is shown in Figure 2. 1 fc = 2πR C (1) 1 1 Figure 2: Basic 1st Order Bessel LP Filter in the Non-Inverting Configuration with Non-unity Gain There are times when a higher order filter might be better. If this is the case the 2 nd order Bessel filter can be used. This changes the circuit of Figure 1 by adding another resistor-capacitor pair to create a fast rolloff at frequencies above f c. The circuit of Figure 3 shows the 2 nd order Bessel LP filter with unity gain. Figure 3: 2nd Order Bessel LP Filter with unity gain To find the value of the capacitors needed the equations listed in (2) are helpful. Notice that the values of the resistors in the circuit of Figure 3 and in (2) are equal. The odd coefficients of the equations in (2) come from finding the transfer function and then solving for the desired cutoff frequency. These are sometimes referred to as the frequency normalization coefficients. As the need to go to higher orders arises, the need to cascade filters comes out. To get a 4 th order

3 Bessel filter one would cascade two 2 nd order Bessel filters. Based on the cutoff frequency chosen and the values of resistors available, the values of the capacitors can be calculated C1 = 2πf c R (2).6809 C2 = 2πf c R High Pass Filters If creating a low pass filter was easy, then creating a high pass filter is even easier. In the case of the 1 st order Bessel LP filter the capacitor and resistor only need to be interchanged with each other and the result is a high pass filter. The same equation holds for finding the cutoff frequency and is shown in (1). The circuit shown in Figure 4 is that of a 1 st order Bessel HP filter with unity gain. The gain can be adjusted to the non-unity case by adding the feedback network resistors in the same location as the LP circuit of Figure 2. Figure 4: 1st Order Bessel HP Filter with unity gain If the circuit is modified to allow another resistor-capacitor pair, the filter type can be changed from 1 st order to 2 nd order. The modified circuit will then look like that of Figure 5. Take note that in this configuration the values that need to be calculated are the values of the resistors R 1 and R 2, and the value of the capacitor can be chosen between nf. Figure 5: 2nd Order Bessel HP Filter with Unity Gain

4 The values of the components used are calculated from (3). These values again arise from the transfer function and then solving for each of the coefficients. To obtain a higher order filter the cascade technique will have to be used. Therefore to make a 4 th order HP filter two 2 nd order HP filters need to be cascaded. R R = 2πf C c = 2πf C c (3) Band Pass Filters The final type of filter to be discussed here is that of a band pass filter. The band pass filter takes advantage of the low pass configuration as well as the high pass configuration. The two of these combine to for a range of frequencies that is called the pass band. Below the lower cutoff frequency the signals are stopped as well as above the higher cutoff frequency. The difference between these two frequencies is called the bandwidth of the filter. The logic behind the cutoff frequencies is a little misleading. The lower cutoff frequency is controlled by the high pass filter part of the band pass filter. On the same type of idea, the upper cutoff frequency is controlled by the low pass filter part of the band pass filter. The circuit shown in Figure 6 is that of a basic pass band filter. Notice the combination of the low pass and high pass connections. The combination of a 1 st order HP and a 1 st order LP creates a 2 nd order band pass. If the trend were to continue a 2 nd order HP and a 2 nd order LP create a 4 th order band pass. Figure 6: Band Pass filter with Low Pass and High Pass Connections The determination of the center frequency of the band pass filter can be found from either the low pass or the high pass filter. The transition from the low pass to the band pass is easier, and only requires that the transfer function be 1 1 modified from s to ( s + ). Once this change is made, the new transfer Ω s function will give the transfer function for the BP filter. The value of Ω is the bandwidth of the filter (the distance between the two 3 db down points).
