Introduction to Filters
(Design Terminologies)
OBJECT
To familiarize with the basic filter terminologies and understand the behavior of basic
filters circuits.
APPARATUS
Bread-board, 1K resistor, 0.1F capacitor, Oscilloscope and a function generator.
THEORY
Electric filters as the name implies are circuits capable to allow or reject signals. The
decision of accepting or rejecting a signal is based on its frequency. The basic idea
behind filter theory is that in time domain a single non-sinusoidal periodic signal is
composed of an infinite number of sinusoids and using filter circuits we may select a
desired frequency signal. The idea is illustrated below
Consider a signal shown in figure (1).
The signal is composed of three
different frequencies each of different
magnitude. The component signals are
shown subsequently in figure (2).
Normally the signal we encounter is in
time domain, which is the sum of
other signals of different frequencies.
The component signals cant be
extracted directly, since they all add
up at a single instant of time. Whereas
in frequency domain these signals are treated as separate signals, so we design
circuits that could handle frequency based characteristi c of the signals. Processing the
resultant signal can lead us to any of the desired component.

Filter design Philosophy
As mentioned above we design our system based on the information of signal
frequencies. Design approach is simple; we have certain known ranges of input signals
that contain the required signal. In short, we know system input and output. Based on
the frequency information we select our system components. Its obvious to expect that
our circuit have frequency dependent elements.
Note: we dont cut other signals from the input signal in filters. We just suppress them
and amplify the desired frequency.
Based on this information lets discuss frequency response of a simple RL circuit.
Consider that we have a signal source that contains number of frequency components.
As mentioned previously, every frequency is treated separately in frequency domain. If
we take the output across the inductor, inductor will behave short circuited for the low
frequency signals, hence lower frequency will be by passed by the inductor. Whereas
inductor wont bypass high frequency signals (open circuited for high frequencies) and
their magnitude wont decrease at the output terminal. Since the circuit wont let low
frequencies to propagate at the output and allows only high frequencies, it is a HIGH
PASS filter circuit. The output signal will be a processed high frequency signal with
little low frequency components.
The frequency response of the typical HIGH PASS circuit is shown below. The
magnitude of low frequency signal is smaller than the high frequency signal.
Lets define certain terminologies to describe frequency response of the system.

Design Terminologies
Pass Band:
The range of frequencies at which the output is little attenuated is called as pass band.
We shall treat these signals as the accepted signals.
Stop Band:
The range of frequencies at which the output is significantly attenuated is called as stop
band. We shall treat these signals as rejected signals or unwanted signals.
Cutoff Frequency:
The frequency associated with the boundary between stop band and an adjacent pass
band is called as the cutoff frequency. It is the frequency at which the output is 0.707
times the maximum value in the pass band.
Lets review the plot in terms of these definitions
Besides HIGH PASS filters, we have LOW PASS, BAND PASS and BAND STOP
filters. We shall study each response in detail. Right now lets consider another filter
circuit based on RC circuit . You are required to plot the frequency response for the
circuit, and determine the cutoff frequency of your circuit.

Operational amplifiers are voltage controlled voltage sources. They differ from ordinary
amplifiers by having two inputs. The operation is such that the output voltage is the
difference of the two input voltages multiplied by an overall gain factor. A typical circuit

Frequency Response of 741 Op-amp
OBJECT
To investigate the Frequency response of 741 OP-AMP in close-loop
APPARATUS
Bread-board, 10K resistor, 100K resistor, dual power supply, multi-meter and a 714
Op-amp IC.
THEORY
Most of the times, for the sake of simplicity we design filter circuits using ideal model of
Op-amp. The ideal model suggests that Op-amp has an infinite open loop gain for all
frequencies i.e. op-amp gain is independent of frequency. In the real devices such as 741
we have a small integrated capacitor, for the reason of stability, which introduces a low
frequency dominant pole in the open loop transfer function. A typical expression for the
open loop gain is shown below. The expression and the plot show that the gain is
frequency dependent. As we increase the frequency of the signal the gain of op-amp
reduces.

Using op-amp in closed loop, we may reduce the gain of the amplifier and can achieve
more bandwidth over which the gain remains constant. Its a kind of trade off between
gain and bandwidth since the product of gain bandwidth for any device remains
constant. For lower values of gain i.e. from 1 to 10 741 IC can be used for audio range
signals. If you want more gain, you have to cascade lower gain stages.

OBJECT
To implement higher order filters using cascade connection.
APPARATUS

THEORY
Higher order filter circuits can be implemented using 1
st
order circuits connected in a
chain, so called cascade connection. A cascaded system is a system that consists of
small subsystems such that the output of one subsystem is the input of the other. A
simple cascade connection block diagram is shown below
Where T(s) is the system overall transfer function
Using cascade connection, we can achieve band pass and band stop response since they
cant be implemented form a 1
st
order system. Cascading a low pass and a high pass
can provide these responses. However there are some conditions which we have to
satisfy before obtaining the over-all response i.e. no subsystem in the cascade
connection is going to load other subsystem. We shall implement a band pass response
with the help of 1
st
order filter circuits.

Biquad Circuit (Low pass response)
OBJECT
To design and investigate low pass response using Biquad circuit
APPARATUS
Bread-board, resistors, capacitors, Oscilloscope, function-generator, dual power supply

THEORY
Biquad circuit is also known as Universal filter. We can implement low pass, band
pass, high pass and band stop, 2
nd
order filters using biquad circuit. Dealing with the
second order circuits we normally express system response in terms of gain (H),
quality factor (Q) and resonance frequency (
o
).
While designing low pass filter we keep the quality of the system less than 1, so that
the response curve wont be peaky. This ensures that the system treat all the pass band
signals equally.
Following are some example response for Q = 7 (Fig 1) and Q = 0.8 (Fig 2).

We shall now implement band stop response using biquad circuit. Unlike low pass
response, here, we shall keep the quality factor high. Increasing the quality factor for
band stop response will increase the selectivity of a particular frequency.
Following are some example response for Q = 7 (Fig 1) and Q = 1.0 (Fig 2).

and four 741 op-amp ICs
THEORY
We shall now implement High pass response using biquad circuit. In designing High
pass filter we keep the quality of the system less than 1, so that the response curve
wont be peaky. This ensures that the system treat all the pass band signals equally.
Following are some example response for Q = 3 (Fig 1) and Q = 0.8 (Fig 2).

Generalized Impedance Converter
OBJECT
To simulate inductance using a generalized impedance converter circuit
APPARATUS
Bread-board, resistors, capacitors, Oscilloscope, function-generator, dual power supply
and a pair of 741 op-amp ICs
THEORY
The elements we discussed so far for the implementat ion of active filters were
capacitors, resistors and op-amps. We havent discussed any approach which includes
inductor in active circuit. The reason of not using inductors is that they require more
space, since the dimension of an inductor is proportional to its inductance and for lower
frequencies we need higher inductance values to achieve considerable impedance. The
other reason is that due to flux linkages, they could induce voltages to the adjacent
elements.
We can simulate inductance through alternate method, since the design approach for
the passive network is simpler than the active approach.
Consider a passive circuit, shown below. The response across the resistor will be a
band pass. To simulate inductance we shall use a GIC circuit, which will convert a
resistance into an inductance

The input/output blocks are MIC and speaker taken from Signal Processing Block Set.
These modules allow us to obtain voice signals directly from the MIC and to reproduce it
through speakers after processing the signal. Our processing will be a real-time
processing. These modules work for digital signals only. The output of MIC and the
input of speaker are in digital form, where as s-domain transfer function requires
continuous-time signal. In order to achieve compatibility among the blocks we have
added DAC (digital to analog) and ADC (analog to digital) converters. You may create
any transfer function for your voice signal of range (20 to 5000 Hz). You need a faster
processor for the signal beyond this range.
In our case, a low pass filter is implemented. When you simulate the program you can
feel the difference in the input and output voice. The low pass will reduce the sharp
contents of voice. Mean while the scopes connected to the input and output sides also
provides you an opportunity to view the modification that took place during the
processing in the voice signal. High frequency components will be reduced and the
output wave form will be a smoother one. A sample input and its output is shown below
