Chapter 3 Flters 3.0 Introducton Flter s the crcut that capable o passng sgnal rom nput to output that has requency wthn a speced band and attenuatng all others outsde the band. Ths s the property o selectvty. They are our basc types o lters. They are lowpass, hgh-pass, band-pass, and band-stop. The basc lter s acheved wth varous combnatons o resstors, capactors, and sometmes nductors. These are named as passve lters. Actve lters besdes usng passve element, t also uses actve element such as transstors or operatonal amplers to provde desred voltage gans or mpedance characterstcs. Each type o lter response can be talored by crcut component values that have Butterworth, Chebyshev, or Bessel characterstcs. Each o these characterstcs s dented by the shape o ts response curve and each has an advantage n certan applcaton. In ths chapter, we shall explore the basc concepts o desgnng passve and actve lters namely the low-pass, hgh-pass, band-pass, and band-stop lters. The characterstcs o each lter type n terms o t bandwdth, crtcal requency, and gan would be dscussed n detals. We shall not be dscussng the methods to desgn lter that has Butterworth, Chebyshev, or Bessel characterstcs. Ths part o the lecture shall be let to be dscussed n the analogue crcut desgn subject. 3. Ideal Flter Ideally, lter should have the characterstcs as shown n Fg. 3.. In practce, such characterstcs are not possble to be acheved. In practce, the attenuaton o the sgnal ater the crtcal requency s ether exponentally ncreased or decreased. It s not abruptly decreased or ncreased as shown n Fg. 3.. - -
