Active Filter part 1

Post kali ni saja nk citer pasal tajuk kat atas. rasa da kena kot ngan amatur nih.. hihi


Introduction

Filters are circuits that are capable of passing signals within a band of frequencies while rejecting or blocking signals of frequencies outside this band. This property of filters is also called “frequency selectivity”.

Filter can be passive or active filter.

Passive filters: The circuits built using RC, RL, or RLC circuits.

Active filters : The circuits that employ one or more op-amps in the design an addition to resistors and capacitors

Advantages of Active Filters over Passive Filters

-Active filters can be designed to provide required gain, and hence no attenuation as in the case of passive filters
-No loading problem, because of high input resistance and low output resistance of op-amp.
-Active Filters are cost effective as a wide variety of economical op-amps are available.

Applications

-Active filters are mainly used in communication and signal processing circuits.
-They are also employed in a wide range of applications such as entertainment, medical electronics, etc.

Active Filters

There are 4 basic categories of active filters:
1. Low-pass filters
2. High-pass filters
3. Band-pass filters
4. Band-reject filters

Each of these filters can be built by using op-amp as the active element combined with RC, RL or RLC circuit as the passive elements.
