Three Major Limits to The Passive Filters
• First, they cannot generate gain greater than 1; passive elements cannot add energy to the network.
• Second, they may require bulky and expensive inductors.
• Third, they perform poorly at frequencies below the audio frequency range (300 Hz < f <3000 Hz). Nevertheless, passive filters are useful at high frequencies.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Active Filters over Passive RLC Filters
Active filters consist of combinations of resistors, capacitors, and op amps. They offer some advantages over passive RLC filters.
• First, they are often smaller and less expensive, because they do not require inductors. This makes feasible the integrated circuit realizations of filters.
• Second, they can provide amplifier gain in addition to providing the same frequency response as RLC filters.
• Third, active filters can be combined with buffer amplifiers (voltage followers) to isolate each stage of the filter from source and load impedance effects. This isolation allows designing the stages independently and then cascading them to realize the desired transfer function.
However, active filters are less reliable and less stable. The practical limit of most active filters is about 100 kHz—most active filters operate well below that frequency.,

Some Properties of Logarithms
• A more systematic way of obtaining the frequency response is to use Bode plots.
• Before we begin to construct Bode plots, we should take care of two important issues: the use of logarithms and decibels in expressing gain.
log 𝑃1𝑃2 = log 𝑃1 + log 𝑃2
log 𝑃1/𝑃2 = log 𝑃1 − log 𝑃2
log 𝑃𝑛 = 𝑛 log 𝑃
log 1 = 0
• In communications systems, gain is measured in bels. Historically, the bel is used to measure the ratio of two levels of power or power gain G; that is,
𝐺 = 𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑏𝑒𝑙𝑠 = log10

Equations (1) and (2) show another reason why logarithms are greatly used: The logarithm of the reciprocal of a quantity is simply negative the logarithm of that quantity.

• The frequency range required in frequency response is often so wide that it is inconvenient to use a linear scale for the frequency axis(Fig.a) .
• Also, there is a more systematic way of locating the important features of the magnitude and phase plots of the transfer function.
• For these reasons, it has become standard practice to use a logarithmic scale for the frequency axis and a linear scale in each of the separate plots of magnitude and phase.
• Such semilogarithmic plots of the transfer function—known as Bode plots—have become the industry standard(Fig.b).

Bode Plots
Bode plots differ from the frequency response plots in Chapter 14 in two important ways.
• Instead of using a linear axis for the frequency values, a Bode plot uses a logarithmic axis. This permits us to plot a wider range of frequencies of interest. Normally we plot three or four decades of frequencies, say from 102 kHz to 106 kHz , or 1 kHz to 1 MHz, choosing the frequency range where the transfer function characteristics are changing. If we plot both the magnitude and phase angle plots, they again share the frequency axis.

Some Preliminaries
• As the frequency continues to increase beyond 𝜔𝑐 = 2𝜋𝑓𝑐, the overall voltage gain also continues to decrease.
The rate of decrease in voltage gain with frequency is called roll-off.
For each ten times increase in frequency beyond 𝑓𝑐 , there is a 20 dB reduction in voltage gain.

A ten-times change in frequency is called a decade.
The attenuation is reduced by 20 dB for each decade that the frequency increases beyond the cutoff frequency. This causes the overall voltage gain to drop 20 dB per decade.

Some Preliminaries
• The -20dB/decade roll-off rate for the gain of a basic RC filter means that at a frequency of 10𝑓𝑐, the output will be -20dB(10%) of the input.
• This roll-off rate is not a particularly good filter characteristic because too much of the unwanted frequencies (beyond the passband) are allowed through the filter.
• In order to produce a filter that has a steeper transition region (and hence form a more effective filter), it is necessary to add additional circuitry to the basic filter.
• Responses that are steeper than -20dB/decade in the transition region cannot be obtained by simply cascading identical RC stages (due to loading effects).
• However, by combining an op-amp with frequency -selective feedback circuits, filters can be designed with roll-off rates of -40, -60, or more dB/decade.
• Filters that include one or more op-amps in the design are called active filters.
• These filters can optimize the roll-off rate or other attribute (such as phase response) with a particular filter design. In general, the more poles the filter uses, the steeper its transition region will be. The exact response depends on the type of filter and the number of poles.

Chapter 15 Active Filter Circuits 23 Scaling
Scaling
• In the design and analysis of both passive and active filter circuits, working with element values such as 1Ω, 1 H, and 1 F is convenient.
• After making computations using convenient values of R, L, and C, the designer can transform the convenient values into realistic values using the process known as scaling.
• There are two types of scaling: magnitude and frequency.
𝑅′ = 𝑘𝑚𝑅, 𝐿′ = 𝑘𝑚𝑅, 𝐶′ =𝐶

- Unprimed variables represent the initial values of the parameters. - Primed variables represent the scaled values of the variables
• Magnitude scaling

• Frequency scaling
We change the circuit parameters so that at the new frequency, the impedance of each element is the same as it was at the original frequency.
Because resistance values are assumed to be independent of frequency, resistors are unaffected by frequency scaling.
Both inductors and capacitors are multiplied by the frequency scaling factor,𝑘𝑓.

Chapter 15 Active Filter Circuits 25 Scaling
The Use of Scaling in the Design of Op Amp Filters
To use the concept of scaling in the design of op amp filters,
(a) First select the cutoff frequency, 𝜔𝑐 , to be 1 rad/s (if you are designing low- or highpass filters), or select the center frequency, 𝜔𝑜 , to be 1 rad/s (if you are designing bandpass or bandreject filters).
(b) Then select a 1 F capacitor and calculate the values of the resistors needed to give the desired passband gain and the 1 rad/s cutoff or center frequency.
(c) Finally, use scaling to compute more realistic component values that give the desired cutoff or center frequency.

• While there is a wide variety of such op amp circuits, our initial approach is motivated by the Bode plot construction shown in Figure.
• The bandpass filter consists of three separate components:
A unity-gain low-pass filter whose cutoff frequency is 𝜔𝑐2, the larger of the two cutoff frequencies.
A unity-gain high-pass filter whose cutoff frequency is 𝜔𝑐1, the smaller of the two cutoff frequencies.
A gain component to provide the desired level of gain in the passband.

Op Amp Bandreject Filters
A component approach to the design of op amp bandreject
• Like the bandpass filter, the bandreject filter consists of three separate components. There are important differences, however:
A unity-gain low-pass filter has a cutoff frequency of 𝜔𝑐1, which is the smaller of the two cutoff frequencies.
A unity-gain high-pass filter has a cutoff frequency of 𝜔𝑐2, which is the larger of the two cutoff frequencies.
The gain component provides the desired level of gain in the passbands.
• The most important difference is that these three components cannot be cascaded in series, because they do not combine additively on the Bode plot.
• Instead, we use a parallel connection and a summing amplifier, as a circuit in Fig. 15.13(a).

• Then each component of the parallel design can be created independently, and the cutoff frequency specifications will be satisfied.
• The transfer function of the resulting circuit is the sum of the low-pass and high-pass filter transfer functions.

How can we realize a filter with a sharper transition at the cutoff frequency?
Cascading Identical Filters
• All of the filter circuits we have examined so far, both passive and active, are nonideal.
• An ideal filter has a discontinuity at the point of cutoff, which sharply divides the passband and the stopband.
• Although we cannot hope to construct a circuit with a discontinuous frequency response, we can construct circuits with a sharper, yet still continuous, transition at the cutoff frequency.
Idea filter
• In order to produce a filter that has a steeper transition region (and hence form a more effective filter), it is necessary to add additional circuitry to the basic filter.
• Responses that are steeper than -20dB/decade in the transition region cannot be obtained by simply cascading identical RC stages (due to loading effects).
• However, by combining an op-amp with frequency-selective feedback circuits, filters can be designed with roll-off rates of -40, -60, or more dB/decade.

A Cascade of Identical Low-pass Filters
• The Bode magnitude plots of a cascade of identical low-pass filters includes plots of just one filter, two in cascade, three in cascade, and four in cascade.
• It is obvious that as more filters are added to the cascade, the transition from the passband to the stopband becomes sharper.
- One filter : 20 dB/dec
- Two filters : 20+20=40 dB/dec
- Three filters : 60 dB/dec
- Four filters : 80 dB/dec
⋯
- n-element cascade of identical low-pass filters: n20dB/dec

𝑠 + 1 𝑛 (15.21)
• The order of a filter is determined by the number of poles in its transfer function. From Eq.(15.21), we see that a cascade of first-order low-pass filters yields a higher order.
• In fact, a cascade of 𝑛 first-order filters produces an 𝑛𝑡ℎ -order filter, having n poles in its transfer function and a final slope of 20n dB/dec in the transition band.

Cutoff frequency of 𝒏𝒕𝒉-order low-pass filter
• As the order of the low-pass filter is increased by adding prototype low-pass filters to the cascade, the cutoff frequency also changes.
• If we start with a cascade of n low-pass filters, we can compute the cutoff frequency for the resulting nth-order low-pass filter.

Cutoff frequency of 𝒏𝒕𝒉-order low-pass filter
• To demonstrate the use of Eq.(15.22), let’s compute the cutoff frequency of a fourth-order unity-gain low-pass filter constructed from a cascade of four prototype low-pass filters:
𝜔𝑐𝑛 = 2𝑛
− 1
𝜔𝑐4 = 24
− 1 = 0.435 rad/s
(15.22)
• Thus, we can design a fourth-order low-pass filter with any arbitrary cutoff frequency by starting with a fourth-order cascade consisting of low-pass filters and then scaling the components by 𝑘𝑓 = 𝜔𝑐/0.435 to place the cutoff frequency at any value of desired.

Filter Response Characteristics.
Butterworth Filters
• The filter frequency responses are typically characterized by the shape of the response curve. A general comparison of the three response characteristics for a low-pass filter response curve is shown in Figure.
Comparative plots of three types of filter response characteristics.
• The Butterworth(버터워스) characteristic provides a very flat amplitude response in the passband and a roll-off rate of -20dB/decade/pole. Filters with the Butterworth response are normally used when all frequencies in the passband must have the same gain. The Butterworth response is often referred to as a maximally flat response.
• Filters with the Chebyshev(체비셰프) response characteristic are useful when a rapid roll-off is required because it provides a roll-off rate greater than -20dB/decade/pole. This type of filter response is characterized by overshoot or ripples in the passband (depending on the number of poles) and an even less linear phase response than the Butterworth.
• The Bessel response exhibits a linear phase characteristic, meaning that the phase shift increases linearly with frequency. The result is almost no overshoot on the output with a pulse input. For this reason, filters with the Bessel response are used for filtering pulse waveforms without distorting the shape of the waveform.

• They are the product of first- and second-order factors; therefore, we can construct a circuit whose transfer function has a Butterworth polynomial in its denominator by cascading op amp circuits, each of which provides one of the needed factors.
• A block diagram of such a cascade is shown in Fig. 15.20, using a fifth-order Butterworth polynomial as an example.

• An nth-order Butterworth high-pass filter has a transfer function with the nth-order Butterworth polynomial in the denominator, just like the nth-order Butterworth low-pass filter. But in the high-pass filter, the numerator of the transfer function is 𝑠𝑛 whereas in the low-pass filter, the numerator is 1.
