SECTION 5-8

Design Examples

Several examples will now be worked out to demonstrate the concepts previously discussed

Antialias Filter

As an example, passive and active antialiasing filters will now be designed based upon a common set of specifications. The active filter will be designed in four ways: Sallen-Key, Multiple Feedback, State Variable, and Frequency-Dependent Negative Resistance (FDNR).

The specifications for the filter are given as follows:

1) The cutoff frequency will be 8 kHz.

2) The stopband attenuation will be 72 dB. This corresponds to a 12-bit system.

3) Nyquist frequency of 50 kSPS.

4) The Butterworth filter response is chosen in order to give the best compromise between attenuation and phase response.

Consulting the Butterworth ...
