ANALOG FILTERS

BY: TULIO PEÑA


Definition

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).

Frequency response of the filters.

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.

Types Of Filters:
There are different types of filters classified based on their frequency response and
construction.

Based On Their Construction:


According to the construction of the filters, there are two types of filters i.e. Passive
Filters & Active 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.

It can easily filter a high-frequency signal but it cannot process any low frequencies.
Although its design is simple but connecting a load to this filter impacts on its characteristics.
Cascading the passive filters for higher order filter affects the characteristics of the filter.

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.

They may have a little bit of complex design but they provide very high input & low output impedance. That is
why; the load impedance does not affect the characteristics of the active filters.

to increase the order of the filter, active filters are used in cascading configuration without worrying about
the loss of input signals power.

Based On Their Frequency Response:
The filters are classified based on the frequency response into the following four categories.

BY: TULIO PEÑA


• Low Pass Filter.
Low Pass filter allow low-frequency signals without any attenuation (decrease in power) but it rejects any
high-frequency signals.
The low pass filter has a reactive component, whose reactance varies with the input frequency. The
variation in the reactance causes the voltage drop to increase or decrease inside the circuit. if the voltage
drop is larger at the output, the signal will be passed, otherwise, it is rejected by the filter.
The passband & stopband frequencies are defined by the cutoff frequency of the filter.
Any frequency less than the cutoff frequency is passed without any attenuation. While any other higher
frequency signal then the cutoff frequency will be blocked.

High Pass Filter.
The type of filter that allows the high-frequency signals to pass without any attenuation in its amplitude &
blocks (rejects) any low-frequency signal is called high pass filter.
Any signal with a frequency lower than the cutoff frequency of the filter gets blocked. While any signal with
a frequency higher than the cutoff frequency passes with full amplitude.

Band Pass Filter;
This type of filter allows a specific band of frequencies & blocks any other frequencies lower or
higher than its passband frequencies.

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.

Applications Of Filters:
Frequency filters have so many applications in our livelihood; some of these applications are given below;

- 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.
