Passive Filters

A filter is a frequency selective circuit/device.


- it allows certain frequencies to pass through, but block unwanted frequencies.

1. Passive Filters: only R, L ,C as elements (no active device)

2. Active Filters: R, L, C and Amplifier

In this course we are limited to passive filters only.


Low Pass, High Pass, and Band-pass filters
H(jω) is defined as Transfer function of the filter circuit

Ideal transfer function of various filters

The applications of bandpass filters include the following.

•These filters are extensively applicable to wireless transmitters & receivers.

•The main purpose of the filter in the transmitter is to limit the BW of the output signal to
the selected band for the communication.

•The best application of this filter is audio signal processing, wherever a specific range of
sound frequencies is necessary though removing the rest.

•These filters are applicable in sonar, instruments, medical, and Seismology applications

•These filters involve communication systems for choosing a particular signal from a
variety of signals.
• Self study: Bode Plot as H.W.
• Few next slides are additional ref. material
• To be discussed in Tutorials with assignment Problems
Additional Ref. for slop of bode curve dB/Octave and dB/decade
How to use transfer function to plot bode plot.

1. To draw a piecewise linear approximation, use the low frequency asymptote up to the break frequency,
and the high frequency asymptote thereafter.

2. The resulting asymptotic approximation is shown highlighted in transparent magenta.


3. The maximum error between the asymptotic approximation and the exact magnitude function occurs
at the break frequency and is approximately -3 dB.
