Active and Passive Analog Filter Design

This text introduces the theory and design of active and passive analog filters and emphasizes modern trends and applications. It includes an introduction to OTA (operational transconductance amplifier) and switched-capacitor filters. The book is designed to lead smoothly from basic background circuit theory into the details of modern analog filter theory. The treatment not only covers a study of the basic filter structures, but also introduces advanced topics including sensitivity, operational amplifier gain bandwidth effects and compensation. Its complete coverage of modern approximation allows students to study all types and enables comparative studies of different filter realizations because of the use of computers in filter design. Many computer methods are introduced, emphasizing design and applications. Special features of the text include detailed discussion of filter design tables; treatment of effects and compensation methods; modern active filter techniques; and a variety of end-of-chapter problems.
