Filters

A filter is a system that processes a signal
in some desired fashion.
• A continuous-time signal or continuous signal of
•
x(t) is a function of the continuous variable t. A
continuous-time signal is often called an analog
signal.
A discrete-time signal or discrete signal x(kT) is
defined only at discrete instances t=kT, where k
is an integer and T is the uniform spacing or
period between samples

Types of Filters


There are two broad categories of filters:
•
•
An analog filter processes continuous-time signals
A digital filter processes discrete-time signals.
The analog or digital filters can be subdivided
into four categories:
•
•
•
•
Lowpass Filters
Highpass Filters

There are a number of ways to build
filters and of these passive and active
filters are the most commonly used in
voice and data communications.

Passive filters


Passive filters use resistors, capacitors, and
inductors (RLC networks).
To minimize distortion in the filter
characteristic, it is desirable to use inductors
with high quality factors (remember the model
of a practical inductor includes a series
resistance), however these are difficult to
implement at frequencies below 1 kHz.
•
•
They are particularly non-ideal (lossy)
They are bulky and expensive
By: Mr. RAJAN VERMA

www.uptunotes.com

Active filters overcome these drawbacks
and are realized using resistors,
capacitors, and active devices (usually
op-amps) which can all be integrated:
• Active filters replace inductors using op-amp
based equivalent circuits.

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
By: Mr. RAJAN VERMA

www.uptunotes.com
Op Amp Disadvantages

Active RC filters also have some disadvantages:
•
•
•
•

limited bandwidth of active devices limits the highest
attainable pole frequency and therefore applications above
100 kHz (passive RLCfilters can be used up to 500 MHz)
the achievable quality factor is also limited
require power supplies (unlike passive filters)
increased sensitivity to variations in circuit parameters
caused by environmental changes compared to passive
filters
For many applications, particularly in voice and data
communications, the economic and performance
advantages of active RC filters far outweigh their
disadvantages.

Bode Plots

Bode plots are important when
considering the frequency response
characteristics of amplifiers. They plot
the magnitude or phase of a transfer
function in dB versus frequency.

Two levels of power can be compared using a
unit of measure called the bel.

Logarithms


A logarithm is a linear transformation used
to simplify mathematical and graphical
operations.
A logarithm is a one-to-one correspondence.

Any number (N) can be represented as a
base number (b) raised to a power (x).
N  (b)
x
The value power (x) can be determined by
taking the logarithm of the number (N) to
base (b).
x  log b N

www.uptunotes.com


Although there is no limitation on the
numerical value of the base, calculators are
designed to handle either base 10 (the
common logarithm) or base e (the natural
logarithm).
Any base can be found in terms of the
common logarithm by:

Properties of Logarithms



The common or natural
logarithm of the number
1 is 0.
The log of any number
less than 1 is a negative
number.
The log of the product of
two numbers is the sum
of the logs of the
numbers.
By: Mr. RAJAN VERMA


The log of the quotient
of two numbers is the
log of the numerator
minus the denominator.
The log a number
taken to a power is
equal to the product of
the power and the log
of the number.

Corner Frequency



The significance of the break frequency is that
it represents the frequency where
Av(f) = 0.707-45.
This is where the output of the transfer function
has an amplitude 3-dB below the input
amplitude, and the output phase is shifted by
-45 relative to the input.
Therefore, fc is also known as the 3-dB
frequency or the corner frequency.

The technique for approximating a filter
function based on Bode plots is useful
for low order, simple filter designs
More complex filter characteristics are
more easily approximated by using some
well-described rational functions, the
roots of which have already been
tabulated and are well-known.
