Q1.

Determine the order N of the Butterworth filter for which Amax = 1 dB, Amin 20 dB, and
the selectivity ratio s /p = 1.3. What is the actual value of minimum stopband attenuation
realized? If Amin is to be exactly 20 dB, to what value can Amax be reduced?
Answer: N = 12, Amin = 21.5 dB, 0.73 dB

Q2.

Design a Butterworth filter that meets the following low pass specifications: fp = 10 kHz,
Amax = 2 dB, fs = 15 kHz, and Amin = 15 dB. Find N, the poles, and T(s). What is the
attenuation provided at 20 kHz?
Answer: N = 5, 27.8dB

T (s) =

( s + 0 )( s 2 + 0.618 0 s + 02 )( s 2 + 1.618 0 s + 02 ) ,

Q3.

It is required to design a low pass filter to meet the following specifications: fp = 3.4 kHz,
Amax = 1 dB, fs = 4 kHz, Amin = 35 dB.
(a) Find the required order of Chebyshev filter. What is the excess (above 35 dB) stopband
attenuation obtained?
(b) Find the poles and the transfer function.
Answer: N = 10, Excess attenuation = 4 dB, P1 = p(-0.0224 + j0.9978), P2 = p(-0.065 +
j0.900), P3 = p(-0.1013 + j0.7143), P4 = p(-0.1277 + j0.4586), P5 = p(-0.1415 + j0.158),

Q4.

Design a second-order Butterworth low-pass filter using Sallen-Key circuit to yield DC

gain |T(0)| = 1 (or 0 dB), a cutoff frequency of f0 = 10 kHz, and Q = 0.707.

Q5.

The following specifications are given for a Butterworth lowpass filter:

p = 1000 rad/s,
s = 2000 rad/s,
Amax = 0.5 dB,
Amin = 20 dB.
Determine the order N of the filter and the transfer function.
Design a filter to realize the transfer function, using a cascade of op amp-RC first-order
and second order Sallen-Key low-pass circuits.

The following specifications are given for a Chebysev low-pass filter:

fp = 10 kHz fs = 24.58 kHz
Amax = 0.3 dB,
Amin = 22 dB.

Q7.

By cascading a first order op ampRC low-pass circuit with a first order op ampRC highpass circuit one can design a wideband band pass filter. Provide such a design for the case
the mid-band gain is 16 and the 3-dB bandwidth extends from 10 kHz to 1 MHz. Select
appropriate component values, using non-inverting op-amp configuration. Determine the Q
factor of your design.

Q8.

A coil having an inductance of 10 H is intended for use around 1-MHz. Its Q is 200. Find
the equivalent parallel resistance Rp. What is the value of the capacitor required to produce
resonance at 1 MHz? What additional parallel resistance is required to produce a 3-dB
bandwidth of 10 kHz?
Answer: 12.57 k, 2.533 nF, 12.57 k
