- 2. 2 7. Active Filter Design and Implementation
- 3. 3 Applications of Filter In a data acquisition system, the analog signal to be acquired may contain unwanted components that need to be removed before the signal can be processed. •noise and interference •carrier component Typically can be done by using an analog filter •but increasingly being performed digitally (i.e., digital filters) In addition, filters are also used to prevent aliasing from occurring during the sampling process.
- 4. 4 Filter Characteristics Four classifications of filters i. Low-Pass Filters (LPF) ii. High-Pass Filters (HPF) iii. Band-Pass Filters (BPF) iv. Band-Rejection Filters (BRF) Three regions common to all filters • Passband • Stopband • Transition band
- 6. 6 Combination of Filters Band Pass Filter can be constructed by • cascading LPF and HPF in series • with the appropriate passband and stopband frequencies Similarly, Band Reject Filter can be constructed by • combining LPF and HPF in parallel • with the appropriate cutoff frequencies
- 7. 7 Filter Specifications Ideal filter characteristics are never realisable • practical filters are only an approximation of the ideal filter Main parameters used to describe filters: • Cutoff frequency (or corner frequency, fC) – typically the –3 dB point – or frequency at which it exits the ripple band (e.g., for ripple type of filters) • Order of filter – related to the transition steepness from Passband to Stopband
- 9. 9 Filter Specifications Passband Gain ( Gpass ): • usually flat but there are exceptions. Passband Corner Frequency (fC): • typically the –3 dB point Stopband Attenuation (Gstop): • minimum attenuation required in the SB (stopband) Stopband (SB) Frequency (fS ): • frequency at which SB begins Transition Region: • frequency range between fC and fS
- 10. 10 Desirable Filter Properties Low Insertion Loss • for signals that are supposed to pass through a filter • the amount of attenuation of a passband signal when passing through the filter should be as low as possible Steep Roll-Off • for signals that are supposed to be attenuated • a measure of how much they are attenuated
- 11. 11 Passive RC Filter Utilizes passive R and C components For example, an RC Low pass filter: RC fc 2 1 VIN VO R C
- 12. 12 Higher Order RC Filter Higher order filter •can be constructed by cascading multiple stages of 1st order filters (e.g. filters used for RF applications) •but difficult to design due to interaction between the stages (i.e. loading effect) Second-order low-pass filter
- 13. 13 LC Filter LC 2 1 fC 2nd order filter •used L and C (with R due to source or line resistance) VIN VO R C L R X R X Q C L What happens if R → 0 ?
- 14. 14 Differential RC Filter Differential signalling is commonly used in a high-speed circuit, • need a differential RC filter • not to degrade the common mode performance ) R R if C R 2 2 1 f S T S C ( + VIN - + VO - RS C RS RT RT = input impedance or termination at the receiver R 2 R R SF S T T
- 15. 15 Differential LC Filter LC 2 2 1 fc 2nd order RLC differential filter + VIN – + VO – RS C RS RT L L S T S C S L R R R 2 X R X Q
- 16. 16 Active filters utilize op-amps in the circuit •provide gain •provide buffering between stages (no loading effect) •can be used to implement higher order filters without the need of L (excessively big at low frequency) For 1st order active filter •corner frequency always occurs at where R is the equivalent resistance seen by the capacitor. Active Filter RC 2π 1 fC
- 18. 18 High Order Active Filter High order Active filter can be designed by combining RC filters around the op-amp. Discussion: Find the corner frequencies of the following filter:
- 19. 19 High Order Active Filter (cont’d) However, there are a few families of active filters that can be designed to exhibit particular good qualities of performance in certain aspects of the filter response characteristics. Example: •very flat response in the passband •sharp transition band •good time-domain response But these features are usually mutually exclusive from each order. For example, it is not possible to have a flat passband with a steep transition band.
- 20. 20 Common Active Filters Families Three of the commonly used filters families are as follows: •Butterworth Flat response in Passband •Chebyshev Sharp transition between Passband and Stopband •Bessel Linear phase variation that preserve shape of signals
- 21. 21 Butterworth Filter Response Main features: •maximally flat response in the passband flatness increases with the order •maximum deviation occurs at the PB edge
- 22. 22 Chebyshev Filter Response Main features: –sharp cutoff (steep transition band) –ripple in the passband (PB) (gain oscillates in PB) Suitable for signals that can tolerate amplitude (and phase) distortion. An example is Audio.
- 23. 23 Bessel Filter Response Main features: •phase shift varies linearly with frequency in the passband, i.e., the delay is same for all the frequency components. •no oscillatory step response Important for applications such as vision, video display systems, and pattern matching. An example is electrocardiography (ECG).
- 24. 24 Frequency Responses of Filters Butterworth Bessel
- 25. 25 Frequency Response of Filters (cont’d) Chebyshev with different ripple
- 27. 27 Filter Circuits Implementation All three families of the active filter can be design based on the same circuit topologies •different component values are chosen to obtain the desired response Two common topologies: 1.Unity Gain Sallen-Key (SK): low parts count, unity gain but part sensitive 2.Voltage Controlled Voltage Source (VCVS) (Equal Component Sallen-Key): low parts count, variable gain but part sensitive.
- 28. 28 SK and VCVS Filter Circuits Both circuit topologies •are applicable for both low pass and high pass design, by simply interchange the positions of R and C components in the circuit •can be cascaded for higher order filter implementation Design can be done based on Filter Design Table •components values are calculated based on the parameters given and the desired corner frequency (Though most likely filter design will be done using software package nowadays)

Editor's Notes
- #14: If there is no RS in the return path, a common mode signal introduces differential component due to the RS and R+ ground impedance at the +ve terminal. The RS return will form another potential divider with the R- to ground impedance.

- #22: Audio ? – how much amplitude distortion can be allowed? Phase is generally bot important. Inportant is frequency component.

- #23: Example: Used as an anti-aliasing filter that must not distort the signal waveform. Audio signals can generally tolerant with signal distortion (due to phase delay) as long as frequency components are preserved Reference: “The Art of Electronic” by Paul Horowitz & Winfield Hill, Cambridge University Press; 2 edition (July 28, 1989)
