Introduction
Active filter is a circuit that is designed to pass a specified band of frequencies while attenuating all the signals outside that band. Filter circuits are used in a wide variety of applications. In the field of telecommunication, band-pass filters are used in the audio frequency range (0 kHz to 20 kHz) for modems and speech processing. High-frequency bandpass filters (several hundred MHz) are used for channel selection in telephone central offices. The filters are basically classified as active filter and passive filters. The active filter circuit uses the active elements such as op-amps, transistors along with the resistors inductors and capacitors. The modern active filter does not use inductors as the inductors are bulky and heavy and non linear. The primary function of a filter is signal processing especially to remove unwanted frequencies or separate the wanted frequency Active filters have become a viable alternative for controlling harmonic levels in industrial and commercial facilities. There are some positive aspect of active filter such as the flexibility of gain adjustment can be achieved with very low effort by varying effort. But on the other hand there is only limited bandwidth. Although the adjustment of one parameter really dose not affect the filter

performance but it is very sensitive to its component drift due to tolerance.

2. Aim & Objective

With the intention of design an active band pass filter, this paper deals with the detail characteristics of an active band pass filter along with simulation and measurement of the transfer characteristics and bode magnitude plot of the transfer function of the band pass filter. The PSPICE simulation of active filter will be performed using with 741 op-amp macromodel based on theoretical design after the derivation of the transfer function with required explanation. In the second part of this assignment, accumulation of the measured data during the lab session and measured filter characteristics will be analyzed. After that, -3dB frequencies will be determined from the recorded value during the lab session. At the end of this paper, the detail result analysis will take place to fulfill the intention of this report and laboratory exercise.
