A comprehensive tutorial on active filter design analysis and design procedures. This book covers: Basic systems classifications together with filter transmission and approximations; Operational amplifiers, including bipolar and MOS integrators; Definitions of sensitivity and statistical sensitivity measures; Continuous-time second-order active sections; Higher-order filter design; Switched capacitor filters.


Containing examples throughout, this text addresses the spectrum of analogue filter design, from approximation and sensitivity to discrete active RC filters. The text offers a discussion of monolithic analogue filters and presents LC ladder structures and their simulations - first as actual LC filters then successively as discrete active RC, fully integrated RC and switched capacitor filters. The emphasis is on proven design techniques, deriving circuits and design methods throughout the text.
