Course Summary:
OVERVIEW:
This course focuses on the design of classical analog filters using passive and active circuits. The course covers Butterworth, Chebyshev, Cauer, and Bessel filter types, frequency transformations, and detailed circuit implementations. Circuits discussed include passive networks, op-amp filters, state-variable types, impedance converters, switched capacitors, and operational transconductance amplifiers.
AUDIENCE:
Engineers interested in a better understanding of classical analog filter design, transfer functions, passive filter circuits, and op-amp topologies.
PREREQ:
Students taking this course should be familiar with basic circuit analysis (such as analyzing simple op-amp amplifiers) and with elementary signals and systems (such as the Laplace transform, pole-zero maps, and Bode plots). Some review of these concepts will be provided in early lectures. In other words, BSEE or equivalent.
BENEFITS:
By gaining understanding and intuition about practical filter design, attendees will become better engineers!
