Microcomputer-aided design of optimal filters

摘要

This paper deals with optimal synthesis of an RC high-pass ladder network. It shows how to obtain a network with the maximum possible gain and minimum total series capacitance. The current transfer function, source and load conductances are specified. Lagrange multipliers method is used to obtain optimization. The entire process is completed using a microcomputer which can handle a large number of poles and can perform the optimization in a very short time.
