Study Notes
Analog Filter Types
- Butterworth filter: Maximally flat frequency response in the passband, monotonic rolloff from passband to stopband.
- Bessel filter: Maximizes flatness of group delay response in the passband, nearly linear phase response.
- Chebyshev filter: Allows ripple in either passband or stopband, steep roll-off for a given order.
- Inverse Chebyshev filter: Similar to Chebyshev Type II but with the ripple in the stopband rather than the passband.
- Elliptic filter: Steep roll-off and irregular frequency response with ripples in both passband and stopband, more efficient suppression of unwanted frequencies.
Butterworth Filter
-
Maximally flat response in the passband.
-
Named after the British engineer Stephen Butterworth.
-
Magnitude response in dB is given by:
- The formula relates the angular frequency, ω, the cutoff angular frequency, ωc, and the filter order, n.
- Higher order results in a steeper rolloff but also increases filter complexity.
-
Transfer function H(s) of an n-th order Butterworth filter is given by:
- The transfer function is represented in the Laplace domain (s-domain).
-
Linear phase response in the passband.
-
Impulse response exhibits a smooth decay without oscillations.
Butterworth Filter Design Parameters:
- Cutoff Frequency (ωc): Frequency beyond which the filter starts attenuating the signal.
- Filter Order (n): Determines the steepness of the rolloff and the complexity of the filter.
- Normalized Frequencies: Cutoff frequency ωc is often normalized to 1 in terms of radians per second.
Butterworth Filter Applications:
- Audio Processing: Used in audio equalizers and speaker crossovers.
- Instrumentation: Used in signal conditioning and data acquisition systems.
- Communication Systems: Used in radio systems, for channel selection and frequency band limiting.
Elliptic Filter
- Also known as a Cauer filter.
- Steeper roll-off than other filters (Butterworth, Chebyshev) with more irregular frequency response.
- Frequency Response: exhibits alternating ripples in both the passband and the stopband.
- Achieves steeper roll-off in the stopband for suppressing unwanted frequencies.
- Compared to Chebyshev filters, passband ripple is minimized.
Elliptic Filter Design
- Design parameters: Cutoff frequency, passband ripple, stopband attenuation, and the order of the filter.
- Higher-order filters can achieve steeper roll-offs but introduce more complexity.
Elliptic Filter Mathematical Formulation
- Transfer function expressed in terms of elliptic integrals.
- Poles and Zeros located on an elliptic locus in the complex plane.
Elliptic Filter Applications:
- Signal Processing: Used where steep roll-off and compact transition band are required.
- Communications: Particularly useful in radio frequency and telecommunications.
- Instrumentation: Used for precise frequency response characteristics.
Deciding on Filter Order for Elliptic Filter
- Specifications: Passband Ripple (δ_p), Stopband Attenuation (δ_s), Cutoff Frequency (ω_c), Transition Width (Δω).
-
Design process:
- Determine the desired specifications.
- Choose an elliptic filter based on specifications.
- Use standard formulas or tables to estimate the required order.
- Design the filter iteratively. Adjust the order if the realized specifications do not meet the desired criteria.
- Consider practical constraints like the feasibility of implementing higher-order filters.
Converting analog filter to IIR digital
- Bilinear transform: Converts the s-domain into a digital domain by using a first-order approximation.
- Impulse invariance: Matches the impulse response of the analog filter in the discrete-time domain.
- Matched z-transform: Matches specific characteristics of the analog filter.
