7. What if filter? • Purpose of filter? • Types of filters? • What is cut-off frequency? • Draw frequency responses of 4 filters? • What is pass-band?

8. Types • Low-pass filter • High-pass filter • Band-pass filter • Band-rejection / elimination filter • Notch filter • Ideal vs. real filter • Cut-off frequency • Pass-band

9. What is active filter? • What passive filter?

10. Passive Filters • made up of passive components - resistors, capacitors and inductors • no amplifying elements (- transistors, op-amps, etc) • no signal gain • 1st order - design is simple (just use standard equations to find resonant frequency of the circuit) • 2nd order - complex equations • require no power supplies • not restricted by the bandwidth limitations of the op-amps • can be used at very high frequencies • can handle larger current or voltage levels than active devices • They are particularly non-ideal (lossy) • They are bulky and expensive EE3110 Active Filter (Part 1)

12. Passive elements : Inductor BIG PROBLEM! • high accuracy (1% or 2%), small physical size, or large inductance values are required?? • standard values of inductors are not very closely spaced • difficult to find an off-the-shelf inductor within 10 percent of any arbitrary value • adjustable inductors are used • tuning such inductors to the required values is time-consuming and expensive for larger quantities of filters • inductors are often prohibitively expensive EE3110 Active Filter (Part 1)

13. Active Filter • no inductors • made up of op-amps, resistors and capacitors • provides virtually any arbitrary gain • generally easier to design • high input impedance prevents excessive loading of the driving source • low output impedance prevents the filter from being affected by the load • at high frequencies is limited by the gain-bandwidth of the op-amps • easy to adjust over a wide frequency range without altering the desired response EE3110 Active Filter (Part 1)

14. Active filter using OpAmp • A filter circuit can be constructed using passive components: resistors and capacitors. • An active filter additionally uses an amplifier to provide voltage amplification and signal isolation or buffering.

15. Op Amp Advantages • Advantages of active RC filters include: • reduced size and weight, and therefore parasitics • increased reliability and improved performance • simpler design than for passive filters and can realize a wider range of functions as well as providing voltage gain • in large quantities, the cost of an IC is less than its passive counterpart

19. High-pass response Low-pass response Categories of Filters Low Pass Filters: pass all frequencies from dc up to the upper cutoff frequency. High Pass Filters: pass all frequencies that are above its lower cutoff frequency EE3110 Active Filter (Part 1)

20. Band Pass Response Band Stop Response Categories of Filters Band Pass Filters: pass only the frequencies that fall between its values of the lower and upper cutoff frequencies. Band Stop (Notch) Filters: eliminate all signals within the stop band while passing all frequencies outside this band. EE3110 Active Filter (Part 1)

23. Filter Response Characteristics EE3110 Active Filter (Part 1)

24. Bessel Characteristic • Flat response in the passband. • Role-off rate less than 20dB/decade/pole. • Phase response is linear. • Used for filtering pulse waveforms without distorting the shape of the waveform. EE3110 Active Filter (Part 1)

25. Butterworth Characteristic • Very flat amplitude, Av(dB) , response in the passband. • Role-off rate is 20dB/decade/pole. • Phase response is not linear. • Used when all frequencies in the passband must have the same gain. • Often referred to as a maximally flat response. EE3110 Active Filter (Part 1)

26. Chebyshev Characteristic • Overshoot or ripples in the passband. • Role-off rate greater than 20dB/decade/pole. • Phase response is not linear - worse than Butterworth. • Used when a rapid roll-off is required. EE3110 Active Filter (Part 1)

37. Band-Stop (Notch) Filter The notch filter is designed to block all frequencies that fall within its bandwidth. The circuit is made up of a high pass filter, a low-pass filter and a summing amplifier. The summing amplifier will have an output that is equal to the sum of the filter output voltages.
