Caracteristicas Filtros
A circuit that acts as a filter is designed to pass signals from a certain frequency range and to
reject or attenuate signals whose frequency spectrum is out of that range. The most common
filters are low pass filters (the low pass frequencies and block the highs), high-pass filters (pass
the high frequencies and block the low frequencies), bandpass filters (passes only a particular
frequency band), and band rejection (specifically designed to reject a given band of
frequencies and pass all others).
In the figure we observe the frequency response of the module and the phase of a first and
fourth order low pass filter; comparing it with the ideal response of a fourth order filter.
Passive Filters
As the name suggests, passive filters are made up of passive components, such as
resistors, capacitors & inductors.
It does not need any external source of energy. Therefore there is no voltage gain in these
filters. The output voltage is always less than its input voltage.
Active Filters
In addition to the resistor & capacitor, Active filter uses an active component such as an
operational amplifier, transistors, etc.
The downside is that it needs an external source of power, but it provides a high voltage gain. This
gain is used for amplifying any weak input signals.
The active filter can filter very low-frequency signals but it cannot process very high-frequency
signal.
to increase the order of the filter, active filters are used in cascading configuration without worrying about
the loss of input signals power.
This type of filter has two cutoff frequencies i.e. lower & upper cutoff frequency.
Bandpass blocks low frequencies & high frequencies, while allows the frequencies in between
known as the passband frequencies.
Any input signal having frequency belonging to the passband frequencies will get passed without
any attenuation.
Combining low pass filter & a high pass filter together in a cascade configuration will provide a
bandpass filter.
The low pass filter will block high frequencies & the high pass will block low frequency. & they will
pass the middle frequencies in between

Band Reject Filter;
This type of filter attenuates the signal whose frequencies lies in a fixed band of frequencies.
It is also known as Band Stop filter or Notch Filter.
It works completely opposite to the bandpass filter. It allows low-frequency signal & high-frequency
signals. But it does not allow a fixed band of frequencies in between.
It also has lower & upper cutoff frequencies. And any signals having frequency in-between these cutoff
frequencies are rejected by the filter.
- The tuner in radio: The bandpass filter in the tuner of the radio allows a fixed frequency to the
output speaker.
- Treble & bass of the speaker: The bass has lower frequencies & treble has higher frequencies.
They are separated using high pass & low pass filter and are separately routed to corresponding
bass ,speaker & treble speaker for clear music.
- Anti-Aliasing: it is a low pass filter that filters out the high-frequency components from a signal
before sampling. It prevents the aliasing component form being sampled.
- Notch Filter: they are band rejects filters with a narrow bandwidth that filter out any interfering
signal.
- Power Supply Smoothing: The output of the power supply which is a rectifier has an AC ripple in
it. These frequencies are filtered out using a low pass filter which results in smoothing the output
signal.
-Noise suppression: They are used in communication systems for noise removal from the
received signals.
